• If the body side bonding surface is repaired with a two-liquid type urethane paint, always apply

the primer after drying the paint. 

• If primer for painted surfaces adheres to a painted surface other than the bonding area, or if it

overflows, quickly remove it with white gasoline or degreasing agent. 

• Always use a Standish cover (stainless plate) to prevent primer for painted surfaces from adher-

ing to the instrument panel.

print as shown in Exploded View. 

• Start to apply the dam rubber at the outline mark of black

print. Apply it so as to only place it without pulling. Stop
applying at another outline mark of black print.

NOTE:
Open adhesive by cutting off the nozzle tip and set it in a sealant
gun.

the vehicle. 

CAUTION:
