      REMOVAL POINT

    1. Do not butt weld or heat repair because the heat decreases the strength of areas where ultra high strength steel is used. (See the introduction)

    2. *a indicates welds to remove for easier removal.

    Weld work for 980 MPa ultra high strength steel
    Follow the welding conditions below when welding ultra high strength steel to assure sufficient weld strength. (When repairing this model)

    • *a: When welding 2 panels together including 980 MPa ultra high strength steel.

      Plug weld Plug diameter 10 mm (0.39 in.)
      Wire type AWS A5.18 ER70S-3
      Shield gas Metal active gas

    • *b: When welding more than 3 panels together including 980 MPa ultra high strength steel. (When plug welding a third panel to 2 panels which are welded under the conditions described above.)

      Plug weld Plug diameter Same as the standard method (See the introduction)
      Wire type AWS A5.18 ER70S-3
      Shield gas Metal active gas

    Note

    Be sure to use Metal active gas (Ar 80% + CO220%) as the shield gas when plug welding. Sufficient weld strength cannot be assured when using 100% CO2shield gas.


      INSTALLATION POINT

    1. Inspect the fitting of the related parts around the new parts before welding. This affects the appearance of the finish.

    2. Temporarily install the new parts and measure each part of the new parts in accordance with the body dimension diagram. (See the body dimensions)

    3. Before installing a new part, apply body sealer.

      Tech Tips

      Apply body sealer in an even, continuous bead.

    4. Follow the welding conditions when welding *a and *b to assure sufficient weld strength. (See the introduction)

    5. When welding *c, make a hole on a new part for plug welding and weld the panel with the panel behind completely.

    6. Divide a new part of front body pillar upper reinforcement in to *d and *e at the weld points. After welding the *d to the vehicle side, install the *e.

    7. After welding the front body pillar sub-assembly inner to the vehicle side, install the front body pillar reinforce sub-assembly lower.

    8. After welding the front body pillar reinforce sub-assembly lower to the vehicle side, install the front body pillar outer and front fender bracket rear.

    9. After welding, apply the foamed sealing material to the corresponding parts. (See the painting / coating)

    10. After welding, apply body sealer to the corresponding parts. (See the painting / coating)

    11. After applying the top coat, apply anti-rust agent to the internal panel portion of the closed section structural weld points.
