Pic. 183. Rubber body seals: 1, 3 - wind window aperture seal; 2 - air box seal; 4 - sealant of the guide groove of the sliding glass of the door; 5 - front door opening seal; 6 - sealant of the opening of the tailgate window; 7 - a sealant of an aperture of a door of a back; 8 - sealant of the side window opening; 9 - lower seal of the sliding glass
Seals 5 of the front door opening are made of sponge rubber in the form of a tube, to which a plastic facing edge with a perforated metal frame is welded. The frame provides fastening of the seal on the flange of the door opening. The inner hollow part of the seal is connected to the atmosphere by holes in the sponge rubber, located every 300 mm. The openings of the wind window, rear windows and sidewalls are sealed with rubber seals 1, 3, 6, 8, which have special tongues to ensure a tight fit. The air intake box, as well as the tailgate opening, are sealed with rubber seals 2 and 7, respectively, which are held on the body flanges by metal perforated frames of the seals.
The seals of the 4 guide grooves of the sliding glass doors are made of rubber of a special profile, on the sealing surface of which pile is glued to reduce the friction force of the glasses. The lower glass seals 9 are also covered with pile to eliminate twisting and creaking of the seal when lowering and raising the windows.
When removing and installing seals with a metal frame, collapse of the frame and the formation of corrugations on the seals are not allowed.
Welded seams of body elements from moisture, dirt and corrosion protection are sealed with D-4A plastisol after priming the body. Welded seams after replacement of body parts during repair are coated with plastisol on both sides. Plastisol hardens during drying of the body after painting work.
Sealing gaps and joints in the joints of body parts (pic. 184) carry out non-drying mastic 51-G-7.
