Refer to ″How to use this manual″Components for the symbols shown in the figure.

1. Remove all of the remaining 30 bolts except the bolts and nut of (A) to (E) shown in the figure.
   ■ 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.
3. Wipe out any excess penetrant liquid on the inspection surface and then wipe out again with a cloth moistened by a little cleaning solution.
4. Spray the developer on the inspection surface.
5. A red indication appears on damaged area.

- Never use an impact wrench to remove or install the mounting bolts and nut.
- Always use the specified bolts and nut with the surface finished.
- Never reuse the removed mounting bolts and nut.
- Tighten all of the mounting bolts and nut before hardening the adhesive.

2. Tighten the bolts and nut of 1 to 5 from the mounting bolts and nut in this order to the specified torque in advance. Tighten the remaining bolts evenly in 2 or 3 steps, and then tighten them to the specified torque.

   1 | : Determine the left or right direction of the center of seatback support bottom in advance, and then tighten to the specified torque.
   2, 3 | : Determine the top center of the height direction of seatback support in advance, and then tighten to the specified torque.
   4, 5 | : Determine the left or right direction of the seatback support in advance, and then tighten to the specified torque.

   ■ CAUTION ■
   Tighten 2 bolts (A) together with the parcel shelf reinforcement.
