San Jose Door hinge sealer?
« on: April 15, 2024, 11:37:03 PM »
Is there a difference in application of sealer around the door hinges between plants? I found the post below, indicating a small continuous bead of sealer on the front and top of the upper hinge, Dearborn. Is this the same for San Jose? Thoughts on the lower hinge?

Thanks

Like Dearborn the upper hinge go sealant on the leading front edge, along the top and rounding around the top rear surface about 1/2" to finish off the pass

No sealant around the lower hinge for some reason





The forward part of one or both hinges could have also received additional sealant from the vertical spray sealant application as shown in the pictures below. Seems pretty common so likely one or two workers of same or different shifts
