I think the seams are gonna rust now. The caulk gets cracked and you cant see it. Water will get in and start the process.Sorry. This is why you see so many vanagons with rust in the rear seams. In a parking lot the end cap gets tapped, and pushes against the metal right at the seam.The caulk flexes and cracks.Better find a way to convince the insurance company that damage was done there.Very fragile bumpers on a vanagon for this reason. |
