Sealing:

When the point of the leak has been detected, it will then be necessary to rectify it using the following procedure:

1. Renew all door aperture seals and weatherstrips which have suffered damage, misalignment or deterioration.
2. Check all body seals to ensure that they are correctly located on their mounting flanges/faces using a lipping tool if necessary.
3. Dry out body seams to be treated using compressed air and/or a hot air blower as necessary.
4. Apply sealant on the outside of the joint wherever possible to ensure the exclusion of water.
5. When rectifying leaks between a screen glass and its weatherstrip (or in the case of direct glazing, between the glass and bodywork), avoid removing the glass if possible. Apply the approved material at the appropriate location (i.e. glass to weatherstrip or glass to body).
