FRONT AND REAR BODY REPAIR
STRESS LINES OR STREAKS
Repeated flexing of the body can cause white stress lines or streaks to appear. To remove them:
1. Hold a heat gun twelve inches (30 centimeters) 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 circumstances
should the gun be held closer than six inches (15 centimeters) to the body.
DEFORMATION
Deformations in the body can be repaired using a procedure similar to the one used to remove stress lines.
To remove deformations:
1. Hold a heat gun 12 inches (30 centimeters) away from the affected area, with the gun on its lowest heat
setting.
2. Periodically remove the heat gun and bend the body in the opposite direction of the deformation.
3. Continue heating and bending the body until the original shape returns. Under no circumstances
should the gun be held closer than six inches (15 centimeters) to the body.
Minor scratches or blemishes in the front body that do not penetrate the clear coat can be buffed out using
most commercially available automotive polishing compounds and polishes.
LARGE SCRATCHES AND ABRASIONS
To repair large scratches that penetrate through the clear coat:
1. Water sand the body.
2. Clean and dry the body thoroughly.
3. Apply a light coat of adhesion promoter (Club Car Part No. 1016985) to the affected area.
4. Spray the body with a commercially available clear coat per the manufacturer’s instructions.
GOUGES, PUNCTURES, AND TEARS
To repair gouges, punctures, and tears:
1. To determine the extent of the damage, use clean rags to clean a considerable distance in every direc-
tion around the damaged area (Figure 5-1).
2. If the damaged area has ragged edges, cut or grind away all loose material. Undercut the perimeter of
the gouge or hole in order to promote adhesion (Figure 5-2). Sand all of the area to be repaired with
sandpaper. Apply less pressure as you get closer to damaged area.
• HOLDING THE HEAT GUN TOO CLOSE TO THE BODY COULD MELT THE BODY OR DAMAGE
THE CLEAR COAT.
• DO NOT SPRAY ADHESION PROMOTER ON EXISTING CLEARCOAT. MASK BODY PANEL
AROUND THE AREA TO BE SPRAYED, THEN REMOVE EXISTING CLEARCLOAT IN THE DAM-
AGED AREA BEFORE APPLYING ADHESION PROMOTER. ADHESION PROMOTER APPLIED
ON CLEARCOAT WILL CAUSE THE CLEARCOAT TO WRINKLE .
