• Front pillar butt joint can be determined anywhere within shaded

area as shown in the figure. The best location for the butt joint is at

position A due to the construction of the vehicle. Refer to the front

pillar section.

• Determine cutting position and record distance from the locating

indent. Use this distance when cutting the service part. Cut outer

front pillar over 60 mm above inner front pillar cut position.

• Prepare a cutting jig to make outer pillar easier to cut. Also, this will

permit service part to be accurately cut at joint position.

1. Mark cutting lines.

A: Cut position of outer pillar

B: Cut position of inner pillar

2. Align cutting line with notch on jig. Clamp jig to pillar.
