Procedure

  1. Remove the HV battery from the vehicle, and move it away from the vehicle. See HV Battery (RWD/AWD) (Remove and Install).
  2. Clean the highlighted area on the RH front corner of the HV battery, using a nylon brush.
  3. Wipe the RH front corner of the HV battery with IPA, and then allow 1 minute to dry.
  4. Position the RH battery mudflap to verify fitment.
  5. Cut the nozzle of the sealant approximately 4 mm from the tip.
  6. Apply sealant to the back side of the RH battery mudflap along the yellow lines in the image.
  7. Install the battery mudflap at the front of RH side rail ski, and then tighten the screw that attaches the mudflap to the side rail ski.
