Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid
I-CAR · September 19, 2018 · Honda
Summary
This article outlines the approved sectioning and partial part replacement procedures for the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid. It specifies that while the front lower rail, upper rail, rear rail, outer uniside, and trunk floor have approved partial replacement or sectioning procedures, the uniside reinforcement, inner uniside, and rear body panel do not.
What to do on the job
Refer to the official Honda Body Repair Manual to locate approved factory seams for rail and trunk floor partial replacement, and ensure the inner uniside and uniside reinforcement are replaced in their entirety as sectioning them is prohibited.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the complete replacement (rather than sectioning) of the inner uniside and uniside reinforcement on a 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid, as Honda explicitly prohibits sectioning these components. It also supports labor times for partial replacement at factory seams for the front/rear rails and trunk floor.
