Butyl tape is also applied to the bodyside rear glass aperture flanges. On the forward edge of the aperture a 15 mm (0.590 in) x 2 mm (0.078 in) strip is applied, and on the lower and rearward edges a 10 mm (0.393 in) x 2 mm (0.078 in) strip is applied.

During production, interweld sealer is applied to critical joint areas. The material used is a heat cured, rubber based sealant which serves to seal two metal surfaces and prevent the ingress of moisture, dust and fumes. Before refitting a replacement panel, apply interweld sealer to areas indicated or to the mating panel face.
