We call this the OE ripple bead. This seam sealer bead can be described as the defined, chopped-up, wavy-textured bead commonly found on underhood areas, trunk pans and rear body pans of most vehicles. Whatever you choose to call this bead, it has been a long-standing challenge for repair technicans to accurately and conveniently duplicate this seam.
In 2018, SEM released a game-changing solution for technicians, the ORBiT™ tip. ORBiT stands for OE Ripple Bead Installation Tip. The tip's patent pending design allows technicians to easily duplicate the OE ripple bead with no special technique required.
