Kia Sportage: Assembly
Measuring dimensions before welding
When assembling a new part, assemble it according to the body dimensions
given in Section 31, and start welding
after checking the gaps with nearby parts.
Caution when welding
The number of welding points should be determined based on the criteria
below:

Caution when spot welding
- The tip of the spot welding machine should be maintained to a minimum of
0.1 in (3 mm) because it greatly
affects welding strength. When possible, spot welding should be done between
the existing spot welded points.
- Before and after spot welding, weld a test piece (test pin) of the same
material as the body panel, and check the
welding strength.
