I-CAR · June 28, 2019 · Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, RAM, Fiat, Alfa Romeo
Summary
FCA/Stellantis has updated its Body Repair Manuals (BRM) to include color-coded diagrams that help technicians easily identify the correct placement of adhesives, foams, and seam sealers. The color coding uses red for structural adhesive, green for anti-flutter adhesive, and blue for seam sealer.
What to do on the job
Refer to the color-coded 'Material Locations' diagrams in the FCA/Stellantis Body Repair Manual to identify and apply the correct adhesive (Red), anti-flutter (Green), or seam sealer (Blue) during repairs.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the specific types and locations of adhesives, anti-flutter materials, and seam sealers on an estimate or supplement. By referencing the color-coded diagrams in the FCA/Stellantis BRM, you can prove to insurers that distinct, non-interchangeable materials (Red/Green/Blue) are OEM-mandated for specific areas of the vehicle structure.
