1 General Information
With the following exceptions MY 2004 VY and V2 Series Body Structure Repair information carries over from MY 2003
VY and V2 Series vehicles.
Coupe:
• Body construction
• Body side
• Body rear
Utility:
• Precautions
Due to requirements of Export markets, minor changes have been made to the body structure of Coupe vehicles. These
include revised quarter and rear end panels, for which the replacement procedures are provided in this Supplement.
Also, a closing panel in the access opening behind the rear seat backrest is fitted, however this does not affect service
operations as it is part of an assembly.
As a running change to Utility vehicles, cavity foam is installed in several new locations.
Figure 1 – 1 shows the MY 2004 V2 Series Coupe body structure as covered by this Supplement.
