Description and Operation

  1. Body sealing seams: To meet production quality requirements, the body panel joint areas must be resealed. Ford clinched flange protection material (specification: A84AG19560DAA) alone must be used for this. The Ford clinched flange protection material has the following properties:
    • Good viscosity.
    • Good sealing and adhesive properties.
    • Minimal shrinkage.
    • Permanent elasticity.
    • Short drying time.
    • Can be overpainted.
  1. Further application possibilities: The Ford clinched flange protection material (specification: A84AG19560DAA) can also be used for minor sealing operations to rectify water leaks or wind noise.
  1. Corrosion prevention materials: When body repairs are carried out, Ford glass adhesive, Ford underbody protection material and Ford cavity sealer alone must be used. Various proprietary corrosion protection materials approved by Ford can be used in all other applications.
