PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES

Establish the extent of the damage, check if there are distortions to the connected components by checking the bodyshell alignment figures, using suitable methods (jigs, templates or gauges).

Carry out any straightening operations required to the bodyshell before cutting the component. After this operation check that the components not being replaced are in tact.

PRELIMINARY DISMANTLING

Remove the moving parts of the bodywork and interior fittings, which could impede the repair operations or be damaged during them.

REMOVING

Cut the rear wing of the vehicle using a power saw following the dotted lines shown in the diagram below and remove the spot welds along the section of the door striker housing.

The most important sections of the body panel are shown in order to allow the operator to adjust the position and the depth of the cutting so as not to damage the panels underneath.
