the a pillars, from the lower door hinge, around into the metal of the front, inside the wheel guards,

around where the fender bolts are, in the spare wheel space in the front bonnet, around the edges and under the rubbers of the bonnet, and the rear decklid.

look under the front guards ,bottom of the door pillars and look along the bottom of the side inside where the running boards are attatched and check the floors and under the battery as well:!:
