INSTALLATION

1. When installing the new quarter panel inner, machine the

body loose panel cushion (MR535301 or MR435765) as
shown and apply it to the body side to prevent the sound
dampening foam material from dropping when the material
is filled into the rear pillar in the next process.

2. When installing the new rear pillar reinforcement lower

parts, machine the body loose panel cushion (MR535301 or
MR435765) for replacement as shown and apply it to the
body side because the sound dampening foam material
cannot be filled into the rear pillar reinforcement lower.
