Body - Sealing Hem Flanges And Body Seams
COLLISION REPAIR INFORMATION
FOR THE COLLISION REPAIR PROFESSIONAL
TITLE: SEALING HEM-FLANGES & BODY SEAMS
SECTION: EXTERIOR BULLETIN #163 REVISED
MODELS: ALL TOYOTA, LEXUS and SCION
DATE: SEPTEMBER 2012
To insure that factory-applied corrosion prevention measures are replicated during body repairs, always use a like-kind and quality automotive grade
sealer on hem-flanges and body seams.
During the manufacturing process, specialized seam sealing materials are used. Following a body repair, however, aftermarket seam sealer materials
are readily available that match factory quality, application, and purpose. OE replacement body components are not supplied with seam sealer.
If replacement body components are not properly seam sealed, or if poor quality seam sealing materials are used; the Toyota new car corrosion
warranty may become void. This includes not only the affected components, but may include any adjoining parts that may also fail or rust.
Refer to CPS-Toyota/Scion Policy 4.17 and CPS-Lexus Policy 4.15 for exclusions in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Note:
Replacement seam sealer must be applied to all original equipment locations in addition to specifications. Review repair manuals for guidance
when performing these tasks.
