Parts Simplification of Instrument Panel Support
Instrument panel supports are now simplified by providing brackets for the body or body-in-white area. Should this type of part be shipped in the case of
the below VINs for this model, a bracket (1) attached with two resistance weld spots (2) must be removed before installation.
Consult Parts information for model and appropriate part.
Procedure:
1. Drill off the two resistance weld spots Figure 2 (2).
2. Remove bracket Figure 1 (1). Grind off any burr which has arisen and clean and degrease any contamination occurring.
3. Apply corrosion protection.
4. Once the corrosion protection has dried the instrument panel support can be installed.
