Labor times for inner panels, rails or reinforcements are with outer panels removed. No windshield, back or quarter glass (if applicable), 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.

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.

Procedure Number 14 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 Door Opening Panel allowance includes a windshield R&R of 2.0 hr. The R&I of the windshield is 2.3 hr. The difference of .3 hr. between windshield R&R (2.0 hr.) and R&I (2.3 hr.) has not been factored into the Door Opening Panel allowance.
