Weld Stud Replacement

If during a repair procedure, a weld stud becomes damaged, the following procedure may be used to replace the weld stud:

Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

1. Drill a hole into the same location as the damaged weld stud.
2. Drive a screw into the drilled hole.
3. Use screws to retain clips and moldings in the same manner used with weld studs.

Important: Apply the proper anti-corrosion materials as necessary.

4. If the body surface becomes marred, repair and/or refinish to provide a smooth surface. Refer to Anti-Corrosion Treatment and Repair in Paint/Coatings.
