1. 4.1. Fix the side section at the rear with tensioning clamps.
2. 4.2. Tack-weld the side section at the rear.

   Information 

   Once the spare parts have been fixed in place, repair spotwelds must be placed on the old spotwelds because there is no current flow possible in areas with a hardened adhesive layer. Welding procedures other than resistance spot-welding are not permitted since the thermal effect would destroy the bonded joint.

3. 4.3. Spot weld areas A, B, C, D  of the side section.
