SIDE UPPER STRUCTURE
Body side: General description
43A
DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURAL COMPONENT
The two parts must be welded at the joint (1) and butt
welded by continuous EGW welding.
If there are other issues regarding access to mating fa-
ces, the various replacement options are described in
the basic instructions for structural bodywork repair
(see MR 400).
The body side is achieved by welding the rear wing and
the body side front section.Note:
The information contained in the following descri-
bes the general repair procedure for all vehicles
having the same design for this part.
Before reading the following general information,
make sure that there are no special notes associa-
ted with the vehicle. These special notes are speci-
fied if necessary in other par ts of the sub-section
dealing with the component.
Note:
For a detailed description of a particular connec-
tion (see MR 400).
