DESCRIPTION
The toolset described in this manual is used to make clean holes in plastic
bumpers without burrs. This is necessary when the replacement bumper supplied
by the manufacturer does not have the holes for mounting the parking sensors.
According to some manufacturers’ repair instructions, holes should be drilled
only after painting to guarantee, once repaired, an appearance as close to the
original as possible. Furthermore, the centering pins contained in the tool
set ensure the correct fixing and alignment of the sensor support during
fastening (welding/gluing). This tool set features a choice of the most used
measures, also including odd intermediate measures, as prescribed by different
manufacturers. It is suitable for standard parking sensors (PDC=Park-Distance-
Control) and for parking assistance sensors (PLA=Parking Assistant).
The OEM numbers shown are used only for assigning technical data and fields of
use!
INSTRUCTIONS
Always adhere to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations and repair instructions!
- As a rule, the position of the sensors is marked by the manufacturer with markings on the inside of the bumpers (Figures 1+2). The supplied assembly tool set may contain a template suitable for the vehicle and/or the bumper.
- Use a Ø10 mm drill to drill a hole for each marking on the bumper. Place the drill exactly in the middle of the marking and drill from the inside to the outside (Fig.3).
- Select the bushing suitable for the hole and insert it on the threaded pin with bearing. The opening of the matrix should face the direction opposite the bearing (Fig.4).
- Insert the drive unit with the threaded part into the hole previously drilled in the bumper (Fig.5).
- Screw the punch on the drive unit’s thread (Figures 6+7).
- Use a 3/8“ ratchet wrench and then a monkey wrench to lock the punch from the outside. The punch is pulled into the bushing as it is screwed (Figures 8+9). A clean hole is created in the bumper without burrs by working from the outside towards the inside (Fig.10).
- Ensure the centering pin is perfectly suited to the sensor support (Fig.11).
- From the outside, insert the appropriate centering pin into the hole of the newly cut bumper (Fig.12).
- From the inside, place the sensor support directly on the pin (Fig.13). Start fixing the support by following the procedure recommended by the manufacturer.
