STRUCTURE PANELS 1. HEAT REPAIR FOR BODY STRUCTURE PANELS Toyota prohibits the use of the heat repair method on body structure panels when repairing a vehicle damaged in a col- lision. Panels that have high strength and rigidity, as well as a long life span for the automobile body are being sought after.
Page 15
INTRODUCTION IN-17 3. IMPACT BEAM REPAIR The impact beam and bracket are necessary and important parts in maintaining a survival space for passengers in a side collision. For impact beam, we use special high tensile strength steel. The high tensile strength steel maintains its special crystal- line organization by heat treatment or alloy additives.
Page 16
IN-10 INTRODUCTION PROPER AND EFFICIENT WORK PROCEDURES 1. REMOVAL (a) PRE-REMOVAL MEASURING (1) Before removal or cutting operations, take measure- ments in accordance with the dimension diagram. Al- ways use a puller to straighten a damaged body or frame. F10007 (b) CUTTING AREA Cutting Okay (1) Always cut in a straight line and avoid reinforced area.
Page 17
INTRODUCTION IN-11 2. PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION (a) SPOT WELD POINTS (1) When welding panels with a combined thickness of Less than over 3mm (0.12in.), use a MIG (Metal Inert Gas) weld- er for plug welding. HINT: Spot welding will not provide sufficient durability for panels over 3mm (0.12in.) thick.
Page 18
IN-12 INTRODUCTION 3. INSTALLATION (a) PRE-WELDING MEASUREMENTS (1) Always take measurements before installing under- body or engine components to insure correct assem- bly. After installation, confirm proper fit. Body Measurement Diagrams F10016A (b) WELDING PRECAUTIONS (1) The number of welding spots should be as follows. Spot weld: 1.3 X No.

INTRODUCTION IN-13 4. ANTI-RUST TREATMENT Sealer Gun (a) BODY SEALER APPLICATION (1) For water-proofing and anti-corrosion measures, al- ways apply the body sealer to the body panel seams and hems of the doors, hoods, etc. F10021A (b) UNDERCOAT APPLICATION (1) To prevent corrosion and protect the body from dam- age by flying stones, always apply sufficient under- coat to the bottom surface of the under body and in- side of the wheel housings.
Page 20
IN-14 INTRODUCTION 6. ANTI-RUST TREATMENT BY PAINTING REFERENCE: Painting prevents corrosion and protect the sheet metal from damage. In this section, anti-chipping paint only for anti-corrosion purpose is described. (a) ANTI-CHIPPING PAINT (1) To prevent corrosion and protect the body from dam- age by flying stones, etc., apply anti-chipping paint to the rocker panel, wheel arch areas, balance panel, etc.
