      REMOVAL POINT

    1. *a in the illustration indicates the laser screw welding location.

    2. A is reused.

    3. *b in illustration indicates where the adhesive is located.

    4. Roughly cut open the panel so that the adhesive can be reached. Cut through the adhesive with a cut chisel to remove the panel.

      Tech Tips

      In cases where the adhesive cannot be removed with a cut chisel, heat the adhesive with an industrial heater gun or gas burner taking care not to cause panel deformation by overheating.

    5. Carefully cut the rocker panel sub-assembly outer so not to damage B.

      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. *a in the illustration indicates the laser screw welding location.

    4. A is reused.

    5. If the entire supply part is not needed, remove the part of the supply part that is needed.

    6. Carefully cut the rocker panel sub-assembly outer so not to damage B.

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

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

      Tech Tips


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

      • Apply enough adhesive to the panels.

    9. After welding the rocker panel sub-assembly outer to the vehicle side, install the C and D.

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

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

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