Nissan Pathfinder: Body Repair - Preparation
Repairing Material Nissan Pathfinder SUV
Foam Repair
During factory body assembly, foam insulators are installed in certain body panels and locations around the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle. Use the following procedure(s) to replace any factory-installed foam insulators.
URETHANE FOAM APPLICATIONS
Use commercially available urethane foam for sealant (foam material) repair of material used on vehicle.
| <Urethane foam for foaming agent> | 3M™ Flexible Foam 08463 or equivalent |
Read instructions on product for fill procedures.
CAUTION:
To avoid the risk of minor personal injury or property damage:
Always install urethane foam after welded panels are installed and welding is complete.
Example of foaming agent filling operation procedure:
Fill procedures after installation of service part.Eliminate foam material remaining on vehicle side. Clean area after eliminating foam insulator and foam material. Install service part. Insert nozzle into hole near fill area and fill foam material or fill enough to close gap with the service part.
