Summary

Complaint The underfloor paneling is loose or sags (picture 1). Cause Mounting clips broken or not correctly engaged. Remedy Replace all mounting clips with collar nuts with shims (picture 2): Adapter set (203 589 02 31 00) is required to perform the work. The underfloor paneling does not have to be removed. 1. Loosen all mounting clips. Use a 13 mm socket for this (picture 3). 2. Unscrew all mounting clips. • During spraying, the underfloor paneling must be pressed upwards against the vehicle underfloor. 4. Install a spacer washer on each threaded pin between underbody and underbody paneling. • Each time, carefully lift the underfloor paneling from the underfloor (picture 5). • During installation, ensure that the side with the engagement lobes points downwards. • After installation, the spacer washer must be in full contact with the underfloor (picture 6). Information: The spacer washers prevent the underbody paneling from coming into contact with the vehicle underbody, thus preventing possible corrosion effects 5. Install collar nuts. Information: The threaded pin does not extend beyond the collar nut due to its length (picture 7).
