SEALING AND CORROSION PROTECTION

Fitting Approved Accessories
When fitting accessories it is important that the
vehicle’s corrosion protection is not affected, either by
breaking the protective coating or by introducing a
moisture trap.

DO NOT screw self-tapping screws directly into the
body panel but fit plastic inserts first. Protect the
edges of holes drilled into panels, chassis members
and other body parts with a suitable zinc rich or acid
etch primer, followed by a protective wax coating
brushed onto the surrounding area.

DO NOT affix unpainted metal surfaces of any
accessory directly to the vehicle bodywork unless they
are suitably protected. Where metal faces are bolted
together always interpose a suitable interface material
such as weldable zinc rich primer, extruded strip or
zinc tape.
