Application of Sealant Silicone on Door Panel

Model: Skoda Fabia 6Y, Mark1 - Years 1999-2007
Part: Checks and maintenance

To prevent water or moisture infiltration inside the door panel, it may be useful to apply sealant mastic along the edges of the insulating panel located just below the panel itself. To carry out this operation, it is necessary to remove the panel and access the aluminium insulating material applied directly to the door; once the outer panel is removed, apply the sealant mastic along the edges and, once dry, proceed with reassembling the panel in reverse order.
