-
WARNING:
Before beginning any service procedure in this
section, REFER to Safety Warnings in section 100-00 General Information.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal
injury.
Refer to: Body Repair Health and Safety and General Precautions (100-00 General Information, Description and Operation).
-
Detrim the vehicle as necessary and remove spot welds from the damaged area.
Use the General Equipment: Spot Weld Drill Bit
-
Body side replacement panels are released as 2-part panels. Only remove as much of the body side as necessary.
Use the General Equipment: Air Body Saw
Use the General Equipment: Plasma Cutter
-
NOTE:
Use resistance spotwelding equipment where possible. This will produce a higher quality repair.
NOTE:
When welding overlapping surfaces or substrates,
apply a high quality weld-through primer between the surfaces prior to
welding.
Where possible, create a lap-joint backer plate using a
portion of the old panel. This will create a stronger joint.
Use the General Equipment: Resistance Spotwelding Equipment
Use the General Equipment: MIG/MAG Welding Equipment
-
Rough finish all sectioning joints with a fibre-based
body filler, final finish sectioning joints and plug welds with a
conventional body filler.
-
Properly seal all horizontal joints to prevent moisture
intrusion. Water and moisture migrate toward horizontal joints and
corrosion tends to occur more rapidly in these areas.
Material: Seam Sealer
