Introduction/Context / This lesson will instruct the student on how to replace door skins. Knowledge of these techniques and the skills required to correct problems associated with this task are necessary for a student to acquire if they wish to compete for high paying, high skilled jobs in an Automotive Repair Facility. Entry level technicians need to be able to perform this task to 100% accuracy. Incorrectly performing this task can lead to an automobile accident or create customer satisfaction issues.

Content/Presentation/Demonstration Outline
Teach students that all the doors of unibody vehicles have inner metal reinforcements at various locations. There are also some other door frame reinforcements, such as at the hinge locations at the door lock plate. Explain that door intrusion beams, normally used inside side doors, are welded or bolted to the metal support brackets on the door frame to increase door strength. Let them know that anti-intrusion beams are located inside the door on passenger cars. If the high-strength steel part is damaged, tell them that either the beam or door shell should be replaced and not repaired.
To replace a door skin, instruct students to remove the door from the vehicle and take off the exterior moldings and hardware. It is generally not necessary to remove the window regulator, remote control mechanism, lock mechanism, or window runs. Tell them to place the door on a flat surface so that the bottom edge of the door extends over the edge of the surface. They should then remove the hem flange with a grinder and remove the damaged door skin. If necessary, have them repair any damage to the inner panel. Before installing the new door skin, instruct them to apply sealers and sound deadeners to the back of the panel. This is because the internal door mechanisms may obstruct portions of the replacement panel after the skin is installed.
On adhesive-bonded door skins, tell students that strong, two-part polyurethane adhesive is used to secure the skin. They should clean and prime the hem flange and the inner flange before installing the skin. Instruct them to correctly position the new skin over the door frame and apply the adhesive to the flanges. They should then bend the hem flange over the inner panel flange with a hammer and a dolly. This will create a hem seam. Let them know that a special pneumatic hemming tool can also be used to create the seam. Tell them to use extreme care to prevent deforming the new skin when making the hem seam.
Instruct students that the procedure for replacing welded door skins is similar to the procedure for replacing adhesive-bonded skins. After removing the damaged door skin, tell students to apply weld-through primer to the flange area. They should then replace sound deadener pads (silencers) and apply sealer to the back of the new skin. Tell them to carefully align the skin and clamp it in position, then bend the hem flange over the inner flange. After bending, let them know that the hem seam can be spot welded or plug welded. Tell them to make certain that the welds penetrate to the inner panel or frame of the door. After installing the new skin, they should prime and paint the exterior surface of the panel and attach all trim and hardware.
