WATER BARRIER - REPAIRS
1. General
A. This procedure contains two tasks. The first task is the repair of the vinyl part of the water barrier.
The second task is the repair of the mylar part of the water barrier.
B. The water barrier has mylar sheets (transparent), vinyl sheets (nontransparent) or 18 in. (457 mm)
wide strips of tape bonded to the floor panels. This procedure gives instructions on how to cut the
water barrier for the removal of a floor panel. It also gives instructions on how to repair the water
barrier with the floor panel installed.
C. The vinyl tape at right angles to the seat tracks with a 1.00 in. (25.40 mm) overlap is the preferred
replacement of the water barrier.
D. Cut through the water barrier around the edges of the floor panel to remove the floor panel. Pull
back the vinyl to get to the fasteners for the floor panels. If mylar is on the floor panel fasteners, cut
a circular patch for each fastener.
