Remedy:



Swift implementation of the necessary repair work prevents subsequent damage at a later date and can be performed without damage to the



paintwork. For this reason we would ask you to perform the necessary repair work as quickly



as possible!



Remove/install the rear lamps on both sides of the vehicle. Remove the sealing seams above the rear lamps from the joint to a height of approx. 20



cm. The adjacent paint surfaces should be masked with two layers of fabric tape to prevent



damage. Any existing corrosion features in the joints must be eliminated if necessary in accordance with MB guidelines. To do this, use primer



and filler materials from the paint partners approved in the warranty systems. Then remove the fabric tape and re-mask the exposed joints with



masking tape. Then prime the joints. Next, renew the masking tape again and apply a new sealing seam to the joints. Mold the new sealing seams and



extend then into the recesses for the rear lamps (see Fig. 1).
