Rust Resistant Body
RUST-RESISTANT BODY1. General
Rust-resistant performance is enhanced extensive use of anti-corrosion sheet steel, as well as by an anti-corrosion treatment that includes the application of anti-rust wax, sealer and anti-chipping paint to easily corroded 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 is applied to edge of the hood, door lower portion, door hinge and fuel filler lid hinge to improve rust-resistant performance. Sealer is applied to hemmed portions of the hood, door panels and luggage door.
4. Under Coat
Acrylic acid resin is applied to under side of the body, inside 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
Soft-chip primer has been applied to the front end of the hood. Furthermore, large rocker moldings and large door under moldings are used on all models as standard equipment in order to ensure chip resistance performance in the rocker panel and door area.
