All weld beads must be ground down after all welding is completed, taking care not to weaken the material.
Any unevenness at the joint must be made good.
If necessary, spot weld missing T-pins for trim strip clamps into position. The vehicle must be completely cleaned of
sanding dust and metal swarf because of the danger of corrosion.
The area to be ground should be kept as small as possible, the corrosion protection applied in production (cathodic
primer) should be retained as much as is possible.
The welding primer must be stirred well or shaken before application.
The welding primer must be allowed to dry before welding is carried out.
