The sealing material we use is a permanently elastic sealing tape that provides a durable seal for the sidewall-roof connections between edge rubber and sandwich components. The great advantage of this material is that it maintains its elasticity for many years despite numerous varying weather conditions, and the outer structure remains sealed in the long term. The downside is that this material reacts to temperature fluctuations; it expands in heat and contracts in cold. The physical stresses experienced during driving can cause this material to swell slightly. However, any excess sealing material can be carefully removed with a plastic knife or a sharp-edged piece of hard rubber. This is particularly effective in cold weather or on a cool morning. As a precaution, the cut edges should be sealed with car wax.
Note:
On the contrary, the generous application of this material significantly contributes to the long-term sealing of your vehicle and ensures that it is well protected against external influences.
