    ■ CAUTION ■
    Tighten 2 bolts (F) together with the parcel shelf reinforcement.
  2. Loosen the mounting bolts and nut of (A) to (E) to safely unglue the adhesive of seatback support.
  3. Set the temperature gauge (the infrared noncontact temperature gauge is recommended for temperature management) to the seatback support, and then heat up to 110°C (230°F) using halogen heater, etc.
    ■ CAUTION ■
    The heating temperature should not exceed 110°C (230°F).
  4. Use an L-chisel shaped as shown in the figure and insert it to either the left or right gap between the vehicle body and seatback support on the top of bonding area while heating the seatback support. Slightly unglue the adhesive from the upper side to the lower side to remove the seatback support.
    ■ CAUTION ■
    Never damage the seatback support and the portions where the seatback support is bonded.

  5. Eliminate the adhesive that remains on the seatback support and the portions where the seatback support is bonded with a disc sander.
  6. If the coating on the joint surface with the vehicle is peeled off, apply epoxy primer on the surface to prevent electric corrosion.
 
 INSTALLATION

■ CAUTION ■
  • Always perform the following procedure to visually check the rear seatback panel for deformation and perform the crack inspection (dye penetrant test) when the vehicle is damaged.
Crack inspection procedure (Follow the manufacturer’s directions for proper usage.)
  1. Spray the cleaning solution on the inspection surface to clean the surface.
  2. Spray the penetrant liquid on the inspection surface and wait until the liquid is penetrated.
