Rust Resistant Body
Rust-Resistant Body1. General
Rust-resistant performance is enhanced by extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel and an anti-corrosion treatment by applying wax, sealer and anti-chipping parts to easily corroding parts such as the hood, doors and rocker panels.
2. Anti-corrosion Sheet Steel
Anti-corrosion sheet steel is used as the following illustration.
3. Wax and Sealer
Wax and sealer are applied to the hemmed portions of the hood, door panels, rocker panel and luggage compartment door to improve rust-resistant performance.
4. Under Coat
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is applied to under side of the body, inside of the rear wheel housing and other parts that are susceptible to stone chipping damage, thus improving the rust-resistant performance of these areas.
5. Anti-chipping Application
A rocker panel molding is used in the rocker panel area and an opening molding is used on the front and rear wheel housings to ensure chip resistant performance.
