PANEL REPAIRS
BODY REPAIRS 77-2-1
PANEL REPAIRS
General
Body shells are of monocoque construction. Front and rear sections of the shell are designed as 'energy absorbing'
zones. This means they are designed to deform progressively when subjected to impact in order to minimise the
likelihood of injury to vehicle occupants.
It is essential that design dimensions and strength are restored in accident rectification. It is important that neither
structural weakness nor excessive local stiffness are introduced into the vehicle during body repair.
Repairs usually involve a combination of operations ranging from straightening procedures to renewal of individual
panels or panel assemblies. The repairer will determine the repair method and this decision will take into account a
balance of economics between labour and material costs and the availability of repair facilities in both equipment and
skills. It may also involve considerations of the vehicles' downtime, replacement vehicle availability and repair turn-
around time.
It is expected that a repairer will select the best and most economic repair method possible, making use of the facilities
available. The instructions given are intended to assist a skilled body repairer by expanding approved procedures for
panel replacement. The objective is to restore the vehicle to a safe running condition by carrying out a repair which is
as close as is feasible to original standard. The results should not advertise to the experienced eye that the vehicle
has been damaged, although the repair might not be identical in all respects to the original factory build. Commercial
bodyshop repair facilities cannot always duplicate methods of construction used during production.
Operations covered in this Manual do not include reference to testing the vehicle after repair. It is essential that work
is inspected and suspension geometry checked after completion. Where necessary a road test of the vehicle should
be carried out, particularly where safety-related items are concerned.
Where major units have been disconnected or removed it is necessary to ensure that fluid levels are checked and
topped up where necessary. It is also necessary to ensure that the repaired vehicle is in a roadworthy condition in
respect of tyre pressures, lights, washer fluid etc.
Body repairs often involve the removal of mechanical and electrical units and associated wiring. Where necessary,
refer to the relevant section of the Workshop Manual for removal and refitting instructions.
Body components
Taking into consideration the differences in body styles, suspension systems and engine and transmission layouts,
the location of the following components as applicable to a particular vehicle is critical:
lFront suspension upper damper mountings.
lFront suspension or sub frame mountings.
lRear suspension upper damper mountings.
lRear suspension mountings or lower pivots.
Additional points which can be used to check alignment and assembly are:
lInner holes in crossmember - side - main floor.
lHoles in front longitudinals.
lHoles in side members.
lHoles in rear longitudinals.
lHoles in rear lower panels or extension rear floor.
Apertures for windscreen, backlight, bonnet and doors can be measured and checked using the dimensional
information provided and also by offering up an undamaged component as a gauge.
Straightening
Whenever possible, structural members should be cold straightened under tension. Do not attempt to straighten with
a single pull but rework the damaged area using a series of pulls, releasing tension between each stage and using
the opportunity to check alignment.

CORROSION PREVENTION AND SEALING
LEAK DETECTION 77-4-31
LEAK DETECT ION
Water Leaks
Where water leakage is involved, always adopt a logical approach to the problem using a combination of skill,
experience and intuition. Do not reach a conclusion based only on visual evidence, such as assuming that a wet
footwell is caused by a leak emanating from the windscreen. It will often be found that the source of the leak is
elsewhere. Use of the correct procedure will increase the chance of locating a leak, however obscure it may seem.
Tools and equipment
The following tools and equipment are recommended for the purpose of detection and rectification of water leaks:
1Garden sprayer (hand-operated).
2Wet/dry vacuum cleaner.
3Dry, absorbent cloths.
4Battery torch.
5Small mirror.
6Weatherstrip locating tool.
7Trim panel remover.
8Small wooden or plastic wedges.
9Dry compressed air supply.
10Hot air blower.
11Sealer applicators.
12Ultrasonic leak detector.
During leak detection, the vehicle should be considered in three basic sections:
lThe front interior space.
lThe rear passenger space.
lThe loadspace or boot.
Testing
From the information supplied by the customer it should be possible for the bodyshop operator to locate the starting
point from which the leak may be detected. After the area of the leak has been identified, find the actual point of entry
into the vehicle.
A simple and effective means in the first instance is an ordinary garden spray with provision for pressure and jet
adjustment, which will allow water to be directed in a jet or turned into a fine spray. Use a mirror and a battery-powered
torch (NOT a mains voltage inspection lamp) to see into dark corners.
The sequence of testing is particularly important. Start at the lowest point and work slowly upwards, to avoid testing
in one area while masking the leak in another. For example, if testing started at the level of the windscreen, any water
cascading into the plenum chamber could leak through a bulkhead grommet and into the footwells. Even at this point
it could still be wrongly assumed that the windscreen seal was at fault.
Another important part of identifying a water leak is by visual examination of door aperture seals, grommets and
weatherstrips for damage, deterioration or misalignment, together with the fit of the door itself against the seals.
Sealing
When the point of the leak has been detected, it will then be necessary to rectify it using the following procedure:
1Renew all door aperture seals and weatherstrips which have suffered damage, misalignment or deterioration.
2Check all body seals to ensure that they are correctly located on their mounting flanges/faces using a lipping
tool if necessary.
3Dry out body seams to be treated using compressed air and/or a hot air blower as necessary.
4Apply sealant on the outside of the joint wherever possible to ensure the exclusion of water.
5When rectifying leaks between a screen glass and its weatherstrip (or in the case of direct glazing, between the
glass and bodywork), avoid removing the glass if possible. Apply the approved material at the appropriate
location (i.e. glass to weatherstrip or glass to body).
