      INSTALLATION POINT

    1. Before temporarily installing the new parts, apply body sealer to the reinforcement, side impact protection beam and backside of the new parts.

      Tech Tips

      Apply sealer evenly about 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the flange and 3 mm (0.12 in.) in diameter on the outer panel and apply just enough sealer for the reinforcement and side impact protection beam to make contact.

    2. Bend the flange hem about 30° with a hammer and dolly. Then, fasten tightly with a hemming tool.

      Tech Tips


      • Perform hemming in three steps, being careful not to warp the panel.

      • If a hemming tool cannot be used, hem with a hammer and dolly.

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