Section BQ BQ.5 - BODY PANEL BONDING MATERIALS The materials used for bonding the body panels are manufactured by Dow Chemical, and in order to maintain the structural integrity of the vehicle, and in the case of the front crash structure, the safety, it is most important to use only the specified materials.
