Outer sill reinforcement

Outer sill reinforcement

Removing


Note

If the front sill reinforcement is damaged, it can be replace separately by drilling out the spot-welds and removing it from the main sill reinforcement.




Important

The sill reinforcement must never be joined at any point other than at the rear edge of the square hole nearest to the B pillar.



1. Cut the sill reinforcement at the rear edge of the square hole in front of the B pillar.

2. Drill out the spot-welds and tap loose the reinforcement.


Fitting



1. Cut the new sill reinforcement at the rear edge of the square hole so that it corresponds with the existing joints in the body.

2. Align any sheet metal or panel damage.

3. Grind clean the surfaces on the body and the new sill reinforcement that are to be welded.

4. Apply welding primer to the surfaces that are to be welded.

5. Position the sill reinforcement and fix it with a few welding clamps.

6. Plug-weld it to the A pillar reinforcement and all-weld the rear joint.

7. Grind down the welds on the outer sill that are to be welded.

8. Apply primer to both sides of the weld. Use Standox 1K Füllprimer.

9. Fit the outer sill.
