INSTALLATION
1. To reinforce the strength in the front pillar cut area, cut the
side outer panel 50 mm (1.97 inches) above the cut area
and cut the front upper inner pillar 100 mm (3.9 inches)
above the cut area.
2. Assemble the new front pillar inner lower parts.
3. Assemble the new front upper inner pillar part.

that, cover the hole with aluminum tape to prevent the sound
dampening foam material from dropping when the material
is filled into the front pillar in the next process.
