40. NOTES: 
 
 
Remove the NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) 
sound deadening material to expose the spot welds. 
 
 
The spot welds indicated should be drilled from inside 
and right through, to allow MAG plug welding on 
installation. 
Drill out the spot welds as indicated. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
41. CAUTION: This step requires the aid of another technician as the 
removed panel will be heavy. 
Separate the joints and remove the old panel. 
 
Installation 
 
1. Offer up the new panel and clamp into position. Check alignment, if 
correct, proceed to next step, if not rectify and recheck before 
proceeding. 
 
 
2. NOTE: To avoid overlapping MAG plug welds, the original 
removal holes must be marked so that they can be 
avoided when drilling the adjacent MAG plug holes. 
 
Mark the position of the drilled holes as indicated, on the 
new panel. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. Remove the new panel.

NOTE: A MAG weld run replaces the original two spot 
welds as there is no access to install spot welds or MAG 
plug welds in this area. The MAG weld run should be 
performed avoiding the area of adhesive. 
Perform a MAG weld run, of approx 30mm as indicated. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
NOTE: Spot welds must be installed 5mm away from 
the originals and in the same quantities, whenever this is 
possible. Where this is not possible, spot welds should be 
installed adjacent to the original. Where there is adhesive 
in the original joint, spot welds should be installed through 
the original. 
Spot weld. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
15.  
Dress all welded joints. 
 
16. Make sure any remaining areas of bare metal created during this 
procedure are treated with a zinc primer prior to the installation of outer 
panels.
