I-CAR · August 28, 2024 · Rolls-Royce
Summary
This article outlines how to identify the outer uniside construction materials for Rolls-Royce vehicles using the BMW Aftersales Information Research (AIR) system. While Rolls-Royce does not specify exact MPa ratings or material types, technicians can find outer skin material breakdowns for most 2018 and older models by using the vehicle's development code.
What to do on the job
Enter the VIN into the AIR system to obtain the vehicle development code, then navigate to the 'Use of Materials In Outer Skin' document under the Body section to identify the outer uniside construction materials.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the time spent researching material composition in the BMW/Rolls-Royce AIR system. It helps defend the necessity of identifying substrate materials (steel, aluminum, or composite) prior to performing any structural or outer-skin repairs, ensuring compliance with OEM repair limitations.
