The following notes must be observed when replacing plastic welded components of the door panel:
- Use commercially available cordless drill/driver.
- Use drill bit with diameter 3.5 mm.
- Use spot facer (2) M4 as per DIN 373 with head diameter 8 mm and pilot diameter 3.3 mm.
- Use chisel (3) with a blade width of 10 mm, according to DIN 5139.
- Perform the drilling and milling process at high rpm and with low feed rate.
- Predrill the center of the plastic spot weld (1), into which plastic flowed during the welding process, so that the spot facer (2) can be guided via its pilot.

- Remove any remaining residues of the plastic spot weld (1) with the chisel (3).
- Mill off the mounting dome (4) of the new part inserted into the door panel with the spot facer (2) so that it is flush with the level of the contact surface (5).
