With the hundreds of different unibody models on the road today there is no single
procedure for securely anchoring all of these vehicles. Many car manufacturers
provide no proper anchoring points for collision repairs. The pinchweld flange that is
formed beneath the sill (rocker) panels where key structural components are welded
together is usually a reliable point to anchor a unibody car. However even this
pinchweld flange does not exist on all models.
In order to handle as many different cars as possible, Wedge Clamp has developed some
special procedures and vehicle adapters. Anchoring procedures covered in this section
are:
•
Anchoring To Weak Pinchwelds
•
Anchoring with Obstructions on the Pinchweld
•
Anchoring with Very Short Pinchwelds
•
Anchoring to Offset Pinchwelds
•
Anchoring Mercedes Benz and Honda/Acura Models
•
Anchoring Wide Body Vehicles
•
Anchoring Cars with Sill Damage
