Applying sealant on windscreen pillars
To resolve the problem of water infiltration via the joint between the external windscreen pillar trim panels and
the windscreen, it has been decided to apply sealant in the area involved as follows.
Remove the windscreen seal ( E3.06 ).
The arrow in the photo aside indicates the point
where water infiltrates between the cover and
the bodyshell. The photo also indicates the
area where sealant must be applied.
Using an extrusion gun, seal the following points
evenly using biSil :
water infiltration point (green arrow);
the part of the slot in the external windscreen
pillar trim panel left uncovered by the screw
(red arrow);
over the screw head (black arrow);
under the extruded lip in the windscreen (yellow
arrow), starting from the red dotted line.
