• Injection nozzles, door contact switches, bump stop rubber.

Example: Possible water entry points at the rear lamp

Add-on body parts must be fitted with seals, grommets or sealing compound to prevent water entry. However, even when a sealing system is fitted, the screw thread may still cause leaks.

Corrective action

Seals must be tested and, if necessary, replaced.

Check contact surface and adjust if necessary.

Points sealed with sealing compound must be thoroughly cleaned and the seal replaced. Check grommets and replace if necessary. At all screwed connections, seal the thread with an appropriate sealing material.
