        1.
        | 
       
        Mount the car in an alignment bench with measuring fixture and cross-measure as necessary.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        2.
        | 
       
        Remove the junction plate at the front wheel housing.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        3.
        | 
       
        Cut the sill reinforcement as illustrated.
         
         
        
          
        
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        4.
        | 
       
        Grind down the welds securing the sill reinforcement.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        5.
        | 
       
        Knock away the sill reinforcement and align any deformed metalwork.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        6.
        | 
       
        Cut the spare part roughly to size so that it will overlap the joint by about three centimetres.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        7.
        | 
       
        Position the spare part and fix it with a few welding clamps.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        8.
        | 
       
        Cut through the new sill reinforcement and the body at the same time so that the joint can be butt welded.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        9.
        | 
       
        Remove the new sill reinforcement and grind the surfaces to be welded.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        10.
        | 
       
        Use a grinder to clean the areas on the body that are to be welded.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        11.
        | 
       
        Put the new sill reinforcement in place and secure it with some welding clamps.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        12.
        | 
       
        Seam weld the sill reinforcement in place.
         
         
        
          
        
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        13.
        | 
       
        All-weld the joint on the sill reinforcement.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        14.
        | 
       
        Apply primer to all bare metal surfaces. Use Standox 1K Füllprimer.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        15.
        | 
       
        Seal joints and metal folds with putty. Use Terostat 1K-PUR.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        16.
        | 
       
        Apply anti-corrosion agent to internal surfaces after painting. Use Terotex HV 400.
