Underbody sealant (Freelander 2)

The underbody surface and the front part of the spare wheel well are treated with Plastisol PVC underbody sealant. This material is not suitable for re-treatment. During repair operations, remove the factory underbody coating in the damaged area down to bare metal. Make sure that the treated area is cleaned to a metallic shine and that the edges of the existing sealing coating are securely bonded to the panel.

Apply a new coat of underbody sealant after applying primer but before applying paint. Apply seam sealant before applying underbody sealant. Ensure that all floor panel plugs and rubber stoppers (except for the plugs covering the sealant holes) are in place before applying underbody sealant. Use a heat gun to re-insert all heat-set plugs or replace with rubber stoppers.

CAUTION: Before applying new underbody sealant, cover all suspension components, wheels, tires, powertrain, drive shafts, propeller shafts, exhaust system and brake assemblies (including all mounting points).
