IMPACT DIAGNOSIS

In the case of distortion due to an accident, it is extremely important that, after the repairs have been carried out, the distances relating to the symmetry of the upper housing for the bodyshell are correct. If they are not properly aligned then this could adversely affect the correct operation and the seal (air/water) of the hood.

As far as the door housing, windscreen housing and engine compartment measurements are concerned, refer to the Fiat Punto saloon Service Manual (pring no. 506.003/01 - Section 70 - Bodywork).

Diagram of the car bodyshell with measurement points indicated by dashed lines and numerical values (795, 1285, 1398, 955, 70). The diagram includes five inset close-up views showing specific reference points on the structure.

NOTE The distances for the housings given are taken from the technical designs and may be subject to a tolerance of about ± 2 mm.
