BODY CONSTRUCTION -Silencer Application LocationsA-21
SILENCER APPLICATION LOCATIONS
Silencers (MD - 12 and melting sheets) are attached to the top of the floor to reduce vibration and insulate
against the heat from exhaust gas.
NOTE
MD - 12 is a high performance sheet composed of asphalt applied with mica and thermosetting resin for
improving anti-vibration performance.
: 1.6 mm thick melting sheet
: 3.2 mm thick melting sheet (Place two 1.6 mm melting sheets one on top of another.)
: 4.0 mm thick MD - 12 (Place three 1.6 mm melting sheets one on top of another.)
NOTE
The number in the parentheses indicates the number of melting sheet
used for repair.

WELDED PANEL REPLACEMENT -Front PillarC-8
NOTE ON REPAIR WORK
REMOVAL
As the front pillar reinforcement lower and side sill outer
reinforcement front are welded at the side sill, cut the side
outer panel at the position shown in the illustration where
the weld points of the reinforcement can be seen, remove,
and then remove the weld points of the front pillar
reinforcement lower.
INSTALLATION
1. To ensure the strength of the cut area of the front pillar,
cut the front pillar inner 100 mm above the cut area,
and the side outer panel 50 mm above the cut area as
shown in the illustration.
Cut the new center pillar at the same positions.
2. Attach the front pillar inner upper assembly of the new
front pillar to the body.
3.When installing a new front pillar outer, install a front
pillar silencer protector filling up the gap with butyl
tapeandthenapplybodysealantand
structural adhesive on the area shown in the illustration.

and flanges with bolts and plate tape, fill the foam
material through the holes as shown in the illustration.

WELDED PANEL REPLACEMENT -Center PillarC-10
NOTE ON REPAIR WORK
REMOVAL
1.As the center pillar reinforcement and side sill outer
reinforcement center are welded at the side sill, cut
the side outer panel at the position shown in the
illustration where the weld points of the reinforcement
can be seen, remove, and then remove the weld
points of the center pillar reinforcement.
2. To cut the weld points of the center pillar seatbelt
reinforcement and center pillar reinforcement, cut at the
bottom of the roof side rail inner as shown in the illustration.
NOTE
Keep the separated side roof rail inner (A) for the
future use.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the side outer panel, side sill outer reinforcement
center, side sill bulkhead, and side sill reinforcement
support from the new center pillar.
2.To ensure the strength of the cut area of the front
pillar, cut the side outer panel 30 mm above the cut
area.
Cut the new center pillar at the same positions.
3. To prevent damage of the center pillar seatbelt
reinforcement, align the new center pillar reinforcement
only to the body side and cut.
Caution
If the center pillar seatbelt reinforcement has been
damaged, repair by welding.
4. When attaching the center pillar reinforcement, apply
adhesive to the locations indicated in the illustration.
