       | 
        11.
        | 
       
        Cut the spare part roughly to size so that it overlaps the joint at the rear edge by about three centimetres.
         
         
        |

        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        13.
        | 
       
        Cut through the spare part and the body at the same time so that the joint can be butt welded.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        14.
        | 
       
        Use a grinder to clean the areas on the spare part and the body that are to be welded.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        15.
        | 
       
        Apply welding primer to the surfaces which are to be spot welded. Use Teroson Zinkspray.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        16.
        | 
       
        Position the spare part and fix it with a few welding clamps.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        17.
        | 
       
        Spot weld the spare part in place.
         
         
        
          
        
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        18.
        | 
       
        Weld the joint at the rear edge of the sill.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        19.
        | 
       
        Grind the welds clean.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        20.
        | 
       
        Wash off surplus welding primer. Welding primer makes for poorer adhesion of paint, filler and sealant.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        21.
        | 
       
        Apply primer to all surfaces that have been ground clean. Use Standox 1K Füllprimer.
         
         
        | 
      
     
    
   
   
    
     
      
       | 
        22.
        | 
       
        Seal joints and metal folds with putty. Use Terostat 1K-PUR.
