ABSTRACT:
A method for repairing a damaged sill member of a vehicle bodywork, wherein the sill member is formed as an extruded hollow section member which is disposed connected between two cast light-metal node elements. A damaged girder portion of an extruded hollow section sill member is severed at a distance from each node element, and is removed. A girder stub portion of the original hollow section sill member remains attached to each node element. Short sleeve inserts are slidably inserted into the open ends of each of the girder stub portions such that a portion of a sleeve insert extends into an associated stub portion and another portion of the sleeve insert projects out of the associated stub portion. A replacement girder portion is inserted between the open ends of the girder stub portions. The sleeve inserts form internal sleeve supports at the ends of the replacement girder portion and span a gap which is formed between the open ends of the replacement girder portion and each of the open ends of the adjacent girder stub portions. A weld seam joins together the respective girder stub portion, the sleeve insert lying beneath the gap, and the open end of the replacement girder portion.
