      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. When welding *1, make a hole on a new part for plug welding and weld the panel with the panel behind completely.

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

      Tech Tips


      • Apply body sealer evenly about 5 mm (0.20 in.) from the flange, avoiding any oozing.

      • Apply body sealer evenly, about 3 to 4 mm (0.12 to 0.16 in.) in diameter.

    5. Apply adhesive (3MTMAutomixTMPanel Bonding Adhesive #8115) to the area indicated by *2 in the illustration.

      Tech Tips


      • Apply a light coat of adhesive around the plug welding points.

      • Apply enough adhesive to the panels.

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

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

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