Note On Repair Work: Installation
- To reinforce the strength in the front pillar cut area, cut the side outer panel 50 mm (1.97 inches) above the cut area.
- Assemble the new front lower inner pillar parts.
- Assemble the new side sill reinforcement front parts. After that, cover the hole with aluminum tape to prevent the sound dampening foam material from dropping when the material is filled into the front pillar in the next process.
- Assemble the new front pillar reinforcement lower.
- When installing the new front outer pillar, machine the body loose panel cushion (MR535301 or MR435765) for replacement as shown and apply it to the body side because the sound dampening foam material cannot be filled into the front pillar.
- When installing the new front outer pillar, apply the body sealant to the areas as shown in advance.
- Assemble the front outer pillar, bolt and tape the hole and flange with aluminum tape, then fill the hole with sound dampening foam material as shown in the figure of the instructions.
Sound dampening foam material: 3M™ AAD ULTRA PRO Panel foam-Yellow
- Wait 2 hours after filling the sound dampening foam material to remove the bolt and aluminum tape, then melt the sound dampening foam material with a soldering gun so a clip, etc. can thoroughly be inserted in the hole filled with sound dampening foam material.
