The engine compartment hood, tailgate or trunk lid, doors and front fenders are attached to the body using threaded connections and are easy to replace. When installing, you should only strictly maintain the correct clearance, otherwise, for example, the door may start knocking, or the noise from the wind will increase while driving. The clearance in any case should be parallel, that is, the distance between the body parts should be the same along the entire length.
Along with body parts, this section also describes interior components such as seats and trim. If welding is required, only spot welding should be used. Gas welding should be used only in areas where welding tongs cannot pass.
Precautions when working with the body
When performing welding or other work in the immediate vicinity of the battery, accompanied by new formation, it is necessary to remove the battery. When removing the battery, follow the instructions in paragraph 23.10.
It is prohibited to subject the parts of the filled air conditioner to either welding or soft or hard soldering. This applies to welding and soldering work on the car if there is a risk of heating up the air conditioner elements.
Caution: Do not open the air conditioner cooling circuit.
Galvanized iron is installed in places particularly susceptible to corrosion. Do not clean the zinc layer during welding (clean only during soldering). Increase the welding current by approximately 10%.

Caution: When welding galvanized iron, toxic zinc oxide is released, so good ventilation must be provided in the workplace.
Remove the underbody protection and sealing materials at the repair site using a rotating metal brush or a hair dryer heated to a maximum of +180°C and separate with a spatula.
When performing repair painting, warm up the car to no more than +80°C, otherwise the electronic control units in the car may be damaged.
