Motor Cover Retrofit (for 1–Piece Cast Under Body)

Repair Information

  • There are two retrofit options:
    1. Retrofit Option 1 includes removing the top portion of the Motor Cover, installing new bolts and nuts to provide attachment points for the NVH pad, and then installing the new Motor Cover. Option 1 removes more of the original Motor Cover than Option 2, and requires the installation of new bolts and nuts to provide attachment points for the NVH pad.
    2. Retrofit Option 2 includes removing the top portion of the Motor Cover, leaving the existing attachment points for the NVH pad, and then installing the new Motor Cover. Option 2 removes less of the original Motor Cover than Option 1, and re-uses the existing attachment points for the NVH pad.
  • Review all collision repair general practices and safety documentation and wear the appropriate PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) before beginning this procedure.
  • This procedure can be completed without using a frame bench.
