Leak Repair

- Repair leaking seals by repositioning misinstalled seals, or replacing damaged seals.

- Use the appropriate seam sealer listed in TSB # 93-00-007 (Information Concerning Sealants) to correct metal to metal seam leaks. ALWAYS APPLY THE SEALANT TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE LEAKING SEAM. Failure to do this may result in a new leak in a nearby area. Cover the under car seam repairs with a spray on undercoating.

- Use 3M Strip Caulk (3M # 8578) or equivalent to repair door moisture barrier seals.

- Use 3M Short Cut Windshield Adhesive Sealant (3M # 08600) or equivalent to seal leaks around windshields, backlights, and fixed side glass.
