Missing Weld Nut - Upper B-Pillar

1. Remove the interior trim panel to expose the suspect anchor point.
2. Determine if the weld nut only or the weld nut and reinforcement and weld nut are missing. If it is determined that the reinforcement is missing, install a reinforcement. To install a missing weld nut only, proceed to Step 3.
3. Obtain a M12 weld nut and a standard washer.
4. Drill out two 8-mm (5/16-in) diameter holes adjacent to the clearance hole.
5. Obtain a length of copper welding wire and feed through clearance hole in door frame opening until it becomes visible at the access hole.
6. Pull wire through so that it may be secured to the weld nut and washer.
7. Pull wire back up to the weld nut clearance hole.
8. Hold weld nut securely in place and using Rotunda MIG Wire Feed Welder 106-00053 or equivalent, plug weld the nut in place at the two 8-mm (5/16-in) diameter holes previously drilled.
9. Metal finish as required.
10. Verify the nut is securely in place.
