Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded. Introduction On some vehicles, when Rapgard™ is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat. The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard™. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces, such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to remove the trapped moisture. Use the following procedure to address this concern. © 2015 Lexus, a division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA Page 1 of 3 L-SB-0014-08 Rev1 March 20, 2008 Page 2 of 3 Paint Stains Under Rapgard Introduction (Continued) Figure 1. 1 1 Stains Warranty Information OP CODE DESCRIPTION TIME T1 T2 T3 BD8039 Remove Paint Stain Under Rapguard™ 0.6 67 99 5330 APPLICABLE WARRANTY • This repair is covered under the Lexus Comprehensive Warranty.
