Note
♦
The side member reinforcement and the B-pillar reinforcement may only be joined from above and below
as shown in the -enlargements-, otherwise the strength of the B-pillar will be adversely affected. Welding
the outer curvatures also weakens the construction.
♦
The enlargements show the tacking points of the front side member reinforcement and the B-pillar rein‐
forcement. This illustration is basically the same as for the B-pillar reinforcement area and the rear side
member reinforcement.
– Adapt new parts with vehicle standing on its wheels or on
alignment bracket set and fix in position.
– Check fit with B-pillar.
– Tack-weld side member front reinforcement -1- to B-pillar re‐
inforcement -3- from above -2- and below -5-, SG continuous
weld (2 x tack welds each a max length of 10 mm).
– Tack-weld side member front reinforcement -4- to B-pillar re‐
inforcement -3- from above -2- and below -5-, SG continuous
weld (2 x tack welds each a max length of 10 mm).
– Remove new part from vehicle.
