INSTALLATION

1. When installing the new quarter panel inner, machine the 

body loose panel cushion (MR535301 or MR435765) as 
shown and apply it to the body side to prevent the sound 
dampening foam material from dropping when the material 
is filled into the rear pillar in the next process.

2. When installing the new rear pillar reinforcement lower 

parts, machine the body loose panel cushion (MR535301 or 
MR435765) for replacement as shown and apply it to the 
body side because the sound dampening foam material 
cannot be filled into the rear pillar reinforcement lower.
