501-25-78 Body Repairs - General Information 501-25-78 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION ‡ Replace damaged or aged seals. Prevent kinks. ‡ The contact pressure can be changed by adjusting the catch bolt or correcting the panel flange. ‡ Even out the uneven welded flange thicknesses. Properly repair any paint damage that occurs. If the bodywork flanges are very uneven, appropriate alignment work must be performed. Pay particular attention here to the new corrosion protection which needs to be applied afterwards. ‡ If water entry is caused by a spot weld (burr on the surface), this must be rectified and appropriate corrosion protection applied. Tailgate sealing rubber E122553 Leaks at the tailgate rubber seal have the same causes and remedial measures as for door rubber seals. Especially vulnerable areas -arrows- must be thoroughly checked. Rubber grommets / plugs Rubber grommets or plugs are fitted at numerous points on the body. They are frequently used as seals for cables, hoses or actuating links. Rubber plugs are frequently used for gaps caused during production. Example: Possible problem locations in the tailgate area TO BE UPDATED LATER Des Description FULSW ion 1 Hinge seal 2 Cable duct Leaks can be caused by badly fitted or damaged rubber grommets and plugs. Damaged cable insulation can also cause leaks. Where components are bolted on, water can enter if there are inadequate seals at the connection point. To resolve ‡ Correctly fit rubber grommets / plugs. During fitting, ensure that the sealing lips are not trapped and are applied properly. ‡ The contact area of the rubber grommets / plugs can also be sealed with PU sealing compound. ‡ Replace the damaged rubber grommets and repair the damaged cable insulation. ‡ Smooth the panel deformations in the contact area of the plugs. Heater housing/ventilation Loose butyl sealing strips, damaged sealing surfaces or a trapped carpet can cause leaks around the heater housing / ventilation Arrow. Badly positioned or badly fitted hoses can also be responsible for water entry. Water drains must not be blocked
