My biggest worry about this whole project is the RTV on everything. I've been reading the recall instructions up and down and researching before getting into it. Is it safe to say if I follow the RTV instructions perfectly I'll be ok, Or should I error on the side of less is more?
Les can be more. Too many techs think more is more hence the issues. Removing the old sealant is just as important as applying the new. Remove it and then clean everything again. There are detailed instructions on the sealant application. The sealant removal and application takes A LONG TIME so don't rush it. The dealer techs aren't allowed enough time hence the issues. Good luck I hope all goes well.
