How Car Panels are Replaced

Video Transcript

"Here we have Jose welding a quarter panel onto this Civic. As you can see he has taken the new panel, he's placed it against the body and he is locking it in place with these clamps. He's in the process of replacing welds at every factory seam point as we talked about before. It's very important that you go to every factory point and weld them in. When he is done with the welding, you come with caulky and you're going to caulk the seam so that they're waterproof. So the water doesn't fill the trunk or worst than that the interior of the back seat. As you can see he's etiquettely protected the vehicle. He has welding blankets to keep sparks from flying inside and damaging the interior. And he's using top of the line equipment that we have here. We have a miller mig wilder which gives you etiquette penetration for the welds so that it is good strong weld. And this is a pro spotter, this gives a very deep lasting penetrating weld and these are the 2 top of the line equipment that you use for panel replacement. Once this has been completed, and the caulking is in place, then it will be ready to go in for the priming and painting."
