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 weld points for the side member front reinforcement -1- and the B-pillar rein‐

forcement -3-. The weld points in the illustrations should also be used for the B-pillar reinforcement -3-and

side member rear reinforcement -4-.

– Adapt new part with vehicle positioned on alignment bracket

set and fix in place.

– Check fit to 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, max length of 10 mm).

– Tack weld side member rear reinforcement -4- to B-pillar re‐

inforcement -3- from above -2- and below -5-, SG continuous

weld (2 x tack welds, max length of 10 mm).

– Remove new part from vehicle.
