Rear Fender Hemming Process

1. A wheel arch is to be installed and hemmed over the left and right outer wheel houses.
2. In order to hem the wheel arch, it is necessary to repair any damaged or defaced parts around outer wheel house.

CAUTION: Ensure that the area that is to be glued around the outer wheelhouse is undamaged or defaced.

PROCEDURE OF THE HEMMING PROCESS

• Peel off old bonding material on the surface of the outer wheelhouse and clean thoroughly.
•  Peel off a primer coat in the specified area where new adhesive is to be applied on rear fender (the replacing part).
•  Apply new adhesive to both specified areas of the outer wheelhouse and rear fender.

<Adhesive> 3Mâ„¢ Automixâ„¢ Panel Bonding Adhesive 08115 or equivalent

• Attach rear fender to the body of the car, and weld the required part except the hemming part.

• Bend the welded part starting from the center of the wheel arch gradually with a hammer and a dolly. (Also hem the end of the flange.)
•  Hemming with a hammer is conducted to an approximate angle of 80 degrees.

• Starting from the center, hem the wheel arch gradually, using slight back and forth motion with a hemming tool.

• Seal up the area around the hemmed end of the flange.
