In principle the side roof paneling can be cut anywhere. During this procedure ensure that the minimum distance between the separation points and the foam elements is at least 100 mm and that they are accessible for preserving the hollow cavity later.
1 Scribe side roof paneling (1) at separation points and cut (areas A1, A2 and A3).
Do not damage components below.

3 Heat side roof paneling (1) in crosshatched areas.
The side roof paneling (1) is bonded in the these areas.
4 Remove damaged side roof paneling (1).

5 Sand connection surfaces down to bare metal in the cross-hatched areas.
Grind spot weld flanges down to bare metal on both sides.
6 Remove shavings and drill chips.
7 Coat insides of spot weld flanges with zinc dust paint.
Do not coat bonding surfaces with zinc dust paint to prevent adhesion problems (area D).
Observe pretreatment of bonding surfaces.
