NOTE:FULL PANEL REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE - Labor times are for replacement at factory seams if feasible. However, many center pillars cannot be replaced at factory seams because the roof panel overlaps the center pillar. If a center 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.
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.
