    A01Q0KD Cut Location for Supply Parts

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

      Tech Tips

      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 center body pillar reinforcement sub-assembly so as not to damage A.

      • Carefully cut the center body pillar sub-assembly inner so as not to damage B.

    4. Apply adhesive (3MTMAutomixTMPanel Bonding Adhesive #8115).

      Tech Tips


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

      • Apply enough adhesive to the panels.

        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.

    6. Apply adhesive (3MTMAutomixTMPanel Bonding Adhesive #8115).

      Tech Tips


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

      • Apply enough adhesive to the panels.
