Rack "IN" - roof beam
  • 1. Res (base for size - hole center).
  • 2. Mill out the spot welds, remove the seal mounting panel.



4.
CAUTION: Roof panel: Only cut to a depth equal to twice the thickness of the panel. To remove the remaining flange, make a cut along the roof panel (better access).



Rear side panel/roof connection
  • 1. Cut.
  • 2. Mill out the spot welds. Use a spot weld cutter with a diameter of 7 mm. In the area where the roof beam/rear side panel joins, cut out two more spot welds. Be careful not to damage the reinforcement panels below.



5. Rear side panel/roof connection
  • Place of cut
  • Raise the roof panel slightly using the plastic wedge.
