Removing blisters with cured bedliner
To remove a blister or sag that has cured bedliner material beneath the defect, the area is cleaned and a slit is cut into the blister (see Figure 9). The edges of the blister are carefully lifted and acetone is used to clean beneath it (see Figure 10). Like the previous procedure, a texture imprint will be required. After making the imprint, a small amount of Loctite 380 Black Max® is applied through the slit and under the blister (see Figure 11).
Next, the impression material, along with a magnet and cover plate, are applied over the repair area and held in place with hand pressure for 15 seconds. The impression material, cover plate, and magnet should be left in place for another 5 minutes to allow the Loctite 380 Black Max to cure. After 5 minutes, the impression material is removed and the repair is checked for proper appearance and cleaned of any excess Loctite® material. After cleaning, the impression material, plate, and magnet are reinstalled over the repair area and the Loctite material is allowed to cure for one hour.
Conclusion
Nissan has issued a TSB regarding recommendations on how to repair defects on spray-on bedliners and provides a spray-on bedliner repair kit for the repair (part #999MP-7S20AP). These repair recommendations are provided in detail in TSB #NTB05-002a. These bedliner repair methods are unique when compared to the general methods that are detailed in the Spray-On Bedliners online training program.
