Default What material is Precedent body?

While installing my tail lights tonight, I had to drill holes in the body. I used a spade bit that might have been a bit dull and it smoked a little. Now I cannot get rid of the horrible smell! I've had the garage door open all night and it has crept inside the house. I told the wife it was a skunk and she said it was the worst she's ever smelled.

My biggest concern is are we inhaling toxic fumes? What happens when these things catch fire, county wide evacuation, or what? **** that stuff is nasty!

I doubt that there would be much danger from a little smoke from a couple of holes. If a warehouse full of cart bodies went up it might be different. It is definitely a problem with airline fires.

As for the smell, it will dissipate. Just ventilate it as best you can and it should be gone in a couple of days at worst.

Club Car bodies are a molded polycarbonate. They call it ArmorFlex.

Precedents are made out of DuPont Surlyn. Same material as a golf ball.

ArmorFlex was on the DS. They upgraded to the Surlyn on the Precedent because it doesn't crack as easily.
