IMPORTANT REMINDER: Labor times for inner panels, rails or reinforcements are with outer panels removed.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: No windshield 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 and R&I operations.
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.
NOTE: FULL PANEL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE - Labor times are for replacement at factory seams if feasible. However, many windshield pillars cannot be replaced at roof seams because the roof panel overlaps the pillar. If a windshield pillar 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.
