Ford/Lincoln Has Video Procedures: 2015 Ford F-150 Outer Box Side Replacement
I-CAR · February 16, 2021 · Ford
Summary
Ford has released an instructional video detailing updated procedures for the 2015-2020 F-150 outer box side replacement, which covers rivet-bonding and plug-welding attachment methods. These specific procedures apply only to the F-150 and not to Super Duty trucks, and the video is intended to serve as a guide alongside the official written OEM procedures.
What to do on the job
Refer to the Ford F-150 Bedside Repair video on fordcrashparts.com for visual guidance on combining rivet-bonding and plug-welding methods, but always follow the written OEM procedures for final repair specifications.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the specific attachment methods (rivet-bonding, plug-welding, or a combination of both) chosen for a 2015-2020 F-150 outer box side replacement. It can also be used to defend why Super Duty procedures or self-piercing rivet (SPR) limitations differ from the standard F-150 repair process.
