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.
Those joints which require the application of interweld sealers are detailed in the previous illustrations. Only joints
applicable to service panels are included.
