1. Before temporarily installing the new parts,
apply body sealer to the reinforcement, side
impact protection beam and back side of the
new parts.
HINT:
1) Apply just enough sealer for the reinforce-
ment and side impact beam to touch the new
panel. Apply sealer evenly around the flange
area, about 10 mm (0.39 in.) from the edge,
as shown.
2) For other sealing points, refer to section AR.
2. Bend the flange hem about 30° with a ham-
mer and dolly, then fasten tightly with a hem-
ming tool.
HINT:
1) Perform hemming in three steps, being care-
ful not to warp the panel.
2) If a hemming tool cannot be used, hem with
a hammer and dolly.
