If stains are found, use a heat gun (for smaller stains) or an infrared drier (for larger stains) to heat the affected area and remove the stains. 2. Insulate all plastic and rubber parts (as shown below) using heat insulation materials (C ~ F) prior to beginning the application of heat. A - Body Panel B - Molding C - Aluminum foil covering all area D - Wet towel E - Folded aluminum foil F - Aluminum foil tape CAUTION: Since this repair procedure requires the use of heat from a heat gun or infrared drier, be sure to insulate all rubber or plastic parts which are easily affected by heat from near the affected stain area. Use extreme care to ensure the top coat surface temperature stays below 284°F (140°C). To protect materials inside the cabin area (i.e. carpet, seats, etc.), also place insulation over the glass as necessary.
