Liftgate Trough And D-Pillar Reinforcements
NOTE: Right side shown, left side similar.
1- Inner D-pillar Reinforcement (590 MPa)
2- Outer D-pillar Reinforcement (270 MPa)
3- Liftgate Drain Trough (270 MPa)
4- Inner d-pillar Sectioning Location
5- Outer D-pillar Sectioning Location
6- Liftgate Drain Trough Sectioning Location
Lower damage to the liftgate opening and access to the to sill components are the most common need for
sectioning in these areas. Sectioning in these areas will allow for partial replacement without disturbing unnecessary
components
NOTE: To prevent warping, apply 25 mm. (1 in.) stitch welds until the sectioning joint is completely
welded.
When sectioning these areas a “Modified lap joint” is to be used. Further information on “Modified Lap Joints “ can
be found in the “Welding and Weld Bonding” section (Refer to Collision Information/Standard Procedure/Welding
and Weld Bonding).
