Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion
Contact corrosion can occur if unsuitable connecting elements are used (bolts, nuts, washers), rivets, plugs, grommets, adhesives, etc.
For this reason, all the connecting elements fitted have been subjected to special surface treatment by the manufacturer. This can be seen from the greenish colour of such elements. Use is also made of rubber and plastic parts as well as adhesives which are not electrically conductive.
These tested, aluminium-compatible components are also available as replacement parts.
Always use genuine parts!
Always fit new parts in cases of doubt about reusability.
Accessories must have been released by SEAT!
Damage from contact corrosion is not covered under the warranty.
