notePartial replacement is possible depending on the range of damage. Cut the side sill reinforcement 50 mm away from the cut area of the side outer panel.

NOTE ON REPAIR WORK



REMOVAL



1. Remove the fender bracket on the cut area in advance when cutting the side outer panel.

2. When removing the floor side sill reinforcement, the front pillar reinforcement interferes with it in the front pillar section, and thus cut the front pillar reinforcement 125 mm below the centre of the front door hinge installation hole. In the quarter section, the centre pillar reinforcement interferes with it, and thus cut the centre pillar reinforcement 160 mm below quarter panel positioning notch.

INSTALLATION



When assembling the new floor side sill outer parts, apply in advance body sealant to the areas shown in the figure of the instructions.

Cut only the side sill reinforcement 105 mm forward from the cut area to create a cover. Next, cut the side sill front bulkhead 55 mm forward from the cut area.
