Attached rear wing panel

INTRODUCTION

Replacing this part is a basic operation for a rear side impact.

It also requires replacing the Grand Volume attached roof panel, which is glued over it at their common joining point (see chapter 45Aa).

In the operation described below, you will only find descriptions of the joints specific to the part concerned.

Information on additional parts is covered in their respective chapters (see contents).
