Important: Do NOT damage any other panels or
reinforcements when cutting at the marked locations.
9. Cut the panel at the location laid out in the
previous steps.

Installation Procedure
1. Locate the area on the service panel where you
will perform sectioning.
2. Measure and mark the cut line location on the
service part at the same location as on the
vehicle layout.
3. Cut the outer front hinge pillar in corresponding
locations to fit the remaining original panel. The
sectioning joint should be trimmed to allow a
gap of 1
1
⁄
2
times the metal thickness at the
sectioning joint.
4. Create a 50 mm (2 in) backing plate from the
unused portion of the service part for the
windshield area.
5. Create a 100 mm (4 in) backing plate from the
unused portion of the service part for the
rocker area.
6. Trim the backing plates as necessary to fit behind
the panel at the sectioning joint.
Important: If the location of the original plug weld
holes can not be determined, space the plug
weld holes every 40 mm (1 1/2 in) apart.
7. Drill 8 mm (5/16 in) plug weld holes along the
sectioning area in the service part, and at the
locations noted from the original panel.
