Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Fender Corrosion Repair Measures, in Wheel Housing Liner Contact Area

Apply filler to the interior and exterior areas of the fender. |

Once the filler has dried, apply and spread the Sealing Material -D

fender has different folded edge widths. Note that the entire folded
edge is always sealed. |

the fillet plate are to be sealed with cavity sealant. |
