Front and Rear Body Repair BODY AND TRIM
More Difficult Stains: Perform previous procedure using full-strength bleach, or allow bleach to puddle on
affected area for approximately 30 minutes. Rinse with a water dampened cloth to remove any remaining bleach
concentration.
CAUTION
• To prevent damage to the vehicle when removing difficult stains or heavy soiling, remove the seat
bottom from the vehicle first.
FRONT AND REAR BODY REPAIR
See General Warnings on page 1-2.
STRESS LINES OR STREAKS
Repeatedly flexing the Surlyn ® body can cause white stress lines or streaks in the finish. To remove them:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Slowly wave the heat gun back and forth over the affected area until the streak fades.
3. It may be necessary to move the gun closer to the body to fade the streak, but under no circumstance should the
gun be held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body.
See following CAUTION.
CAUTION
• Holding the heat gun too close to the body could melt the body or damage the finish.
MINOR IMPACT DAMAGE/DEFORMATIONS
Minor impact damage to a Surlyn ® body can be repaired using a procedure similar to the one used to remove stress
lines. To remove deformations resulting from minor impact damage:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 cm) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat setting.
2. Periodically remove the heat gun and bend the body, using a push block, in the opposite direction of the
deformation.
3. Continue heating and bending the body until the original shape returns. Under no circumstance should the gun be
held closer than 6 inches (15 cm) to the body.
See preceding CAUTION.
