Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2017 Ford C-MAX Hybrid
I-CAR · October 25, 2018 · Ford
Summary
This document outlines the OEM sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2017 Ford C-MAX Hybrid, highlighting available procedures for the front lower rail, front upper rail, rear rail, outer/inner uniside, and trunk floor. It notes that while these components can be sectioned or partially replaced, the uniside reinforcement has no OEM sectioning procedures available.
What to do on the job
Verify specific sectioning locations and welding methods (such as STRSW and GMA) on Ford's paid subscription website, and do not attempt to section the uniside reinforcement as no OEM procedure exists.
How to use it
Use this document to justify labor times and repair methods for structural sectioning on a 2017 Ford C-MAX Hybrid. Specifically, use it to defend the replacement of the entire uniside reinforcement if damaged, as the OEM explicitly does not provide a sectioning procedure for that component.
