Nissan Altima Laser-Welded Roof Replacement

How do I replace a factory laser-welded roof on a Nissan Altima is a common question. Nissan released a procedure that explains their process, let’s take a look.

We previously submitted an OEM linking pin to Nissan for clarification on how to replace a laser-welded roof on a Nissan Altima. Nissan has since developed a procedure which outlines how to install the replacement roof panel when it was laser welded from the factory.

The 2019-2024 Nissan Altima (L34) roof replacement procedure is found in the vehicle-specific body repair manual and calls out to replace the factory laser welds with stitch welds. The procedure specifies exactly how long and where each weld should be placed.
