Cowl: Diagrams
FRONT DECK
1. The cowl top panel has a 3 block structure, with the front, outer and inner as used previously.
2. The cowl top inner panel is welded to the front pillar outer and inner in order to increase the joining strength.
3. The front deck has newly been provided with a front deck crossmember to reduce steering wheel vibration and to increase safety in the event of an
impact.
4. To further increase rigidity of the base of the front pillar section, the upper frame has been changed from the previous block structure to a single
structure with a U-shaped cross-section.
