SHELVING AND BULKHEAD INSTALLATION
Bulkhead
The bulkhead should be attached to the OEM supplied weld nuts in the roof cross member and the floor. No new
attachment points should be added. Loading should be distributed evenly utilizing as many mounting points as
possible.
Before bulkhead installation, it is necessary to cut away the rear portion of the headlining to avoid interference with
the side curtain air bags deployment zones. The headlining should not be trapped, pinched or glued to the bulkhead. To
correctly measure the headlining cut line, refer to HEADLINING CUT
