        | 
       
        Cut the rear section of the door frame 35 mm behind the edge of the hole. Cut carefully so that the underlying sill reinforcement is not damaged.

        16.
        | 
       
        Remove the side panel and spot-weld the rear section of the door frame.
         
         
        
          
        
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        17.
        | 
       
        Plug weld the door frame.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        18.
        | 
       
        All-weld the joint between the rear section of the door frame and sill, also seam weld the reinforcement.
         
         
        |

       | 
        20.
        | 
       
        Wash off surplus welding primer. Welding primer makes for poorer adhesion of paint, filler and sealant.
         
         
        |

       | 
        22.
        | 
       
        Seal joints and metal folds with putty. Use Terostat 1K-PUR.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        23.
        | 
       
        Apply anti-corrosion agent to internal surfaces after painting. Use Terotex HV 400.
