- Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2014 BMW X6, 2013 BMW X6, 2012 BMW X6, 2011 BMW X6, and 2010 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If necessary, surface-grind existing unevenness with a belt or angle grinder in the area around the welding spot.

Set punch mark in center of welding spot. Set 8 mm dia. weld spot drill bit on punch mark and drill through top panel.

NOTE: Because the welding spots may have surface-hardened, grind them if necessary with an angle grinder and paper grinding disc.

Use a chisel to separate the sheet metal flange and remove the component.

Follow the special procedure for SPOT WELDS .
