NOTE: FULL PANEL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE - Labor times are for replacement at factory seams if feasible. However, many rocker panels cannot be replaced at factory seams because the hinge pillar, center pillar, lock pillar and/or quarter panel overlaps the rocker panel. If a rocker panel is designed in this manner and a section time is not listed, the time in the text represents replacement of the panel at the most practical area. This reduces repair damage to overlapping panels and is considered a full panel replacement.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Sectioning of a panel may or may not be recommended by vehicle manufacturer. This procedure should only be performed when a qualified and knowledgeable technician has determined that the operation does not jeopardize the integrity of the vehicle.

IMPORTANT REMINDER: Labor times for inner panels, rails or reinforcements are with outer panels removed.

NOTE: Deduct 1.0 hour each for hinge, center and lock pillar if these items are also replaced.
