REDUCING HOOD SHEET METAL VIBRATION/FLUTTER
To reduce hood vibration/flutter on T100, apply quick drying 3M Brand Ultrapro Seam Sealer (Urethane Adhesive), or equivalent, between the hood
panel and support braces.
CLEANING PROCESS:
^
Since urethane adhesives will only adhere to clean surfaces, it is essential to remove under-hood residue with a wax, grease and silicone remover
(available from major paint suppliers).
^
Be sure to read the "how to use" instructions on the label very carefully since misuse of this type of product may lead to adhesion problems.
APPLICATION OF MASTIC MATERIAL:
^
Insert the adhesive tube into the caulking gun and cut-off tip.
^
To avoid the necessity of repainting the underside of the hood, apply only small spots of adhesive material (about the size of a dime) to the 6
locations shown in the illustration.
^
IMPORTANT
apply no more than 6 small spots of adhesive to the specified areas. If additional material is applied or it is applied in a ribbon-like fashion, a
wrinkling or buckling of the sheet metal may occur.
Note:
Proper application places the majority of the material between the hood sheet metal and the hood brace (away from the edge of the hood brace).
