When should the sill be replaced?

Sill replacement is required when it is damaged due to corrosion or collision. In many cars, the sill is a supporting element of the body and its replacement requires following strict rules and procedures.

How is the sill removed?

A damaged sill must be cut out of the car body. This may require removing many other elements of the body and trim located in its immediate vicinity.

How is a new sill fitted?

A damaged sill is replaced with a new one. To this effect, a new sill must be attached to the body by means of welds. Closed sections must be protected against corrosion. Next, the whole element is painted.
