What does I-CAR say about when corrosion protection should be restored?
Response
Coatings applied by the vehicle makers must be restored during repairs:
- Where the coatings have been disturbed or removed. Neglecting corrosion protection can cause corrosion to form under a paint film or in an area where chipped paint occurs.
- Because the steps and coatings applied by vehicle makers are there for a reason. There are no unnecessary steps done on the assembly or paint line.
- Because if not restored, corrosion damage will occur. The corrosion may only be a visible annoyance in some areas, but it speaks to the quality of the repair process.
