IMPORTANT REMINDER: Procedure Number 20 includes removal of damaged urethane set glass and replacement with new glass. The Procedure does not include allowances for necessary precautionary measures to remove undamaged urethane set glass, nor clean up of the old adhesive on the glass. If the existing urethane set glass is undamaged and will be reused, the labor time difference between the glass R&R and R&I represents the not included allowance.
Example: A Quarter Panel allowance includes a Back Glass R&R of 2.0 hr. The R&I of the back glass is 2.3 hr. The difference of .3 hr. between Back Glass R&R (2.0 hr.) and R&I (2.3 hr.) has not been factored into the Quarter Panel allowance.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Labor times for inner panels, rails or reinforcements are with outer panels removed. No back, quarter glass (non-movable) or flush mounted reveal mouldings can be removed without the possibility of breakage or damage that will require replacement. Unintentional damage to glass that is considered a structural member by the vehicle manufacturer may occur when attempting alignment pulls to correct unibody collision damage. Agree beforehand who will incur the charge for damage occurring during normal R&R or R&I operations.
FULL PANEL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE: Labor times are for replacement at factory seams if feasible. However, many quarter panels cannot be replaced at roof seams because the roof panel overlaps the quarter. If a quarter 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 - usually below the roof seam. This method is considered a full panel replacement provided the back glass and, if applicable, the quarter glass is removed for splicing in the pillar/sail areas.
