    1. Reuse A, as the area of the outer panel that is cut and joined is to the rear of the supplied part cut position.

      Tech Tips

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

    2. 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.

    3. Be careful when cutting as foamed sealing material is located near the cutting position.

    4. When replace only the outer panel, please cut off a necessary range depending on a damage range.


      1. Carefully cut the outer panel so not to damage the reinforcement.

      2. Make sure that butt welding does not heat-affect the reinforcement when welding the outer panel.

  2. INSTALLATION

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

      Tech Tips

      Carefully cut the rocker panel sub-assembly outer so as not to damage A.
