INSTALLATION

1. To guarantee the strength of the centre pillar 

cut-off area, cut off the side outer panel as shown.

2. When installing the new centre inner pillar parts, 

remove the centre pillar inner lower from the 
centre inner pillar.

3. When installing the new centre outer pillar part, 

because the sound dampening foam material 
cannot be filled into the centre pillar, machine the 
body loose panel cushion (MR565301 or 
MR435765) as a substitute according to the 
method shown in the figure, and then attach it to 
the body.
