Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2017 Honda Civic Sedan
I-CAR · June 15, 2018 · Honda
Summary
This article outlines the sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2017 Honda Civic Sedan. It highlights that while sectioning is strictly prohibited for the front lower rail, rear rail, and upper rail, partial replacement procedures at factory seams are available for these components, and the outer uniside can be sectioned in multiple locations.
What to do on the job
Do not section the front lower rail, rear rail, or upper rail on a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan; instead, perform partial part replacement at factory seams or refer to the Honda Body Repair Manual for approved outer uniside sectioning locations.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor time and procedures required for full partial part replacement of the front, rear, or upper rails rather than sectioning, as Honda explicitly prohibits sectioning these structural components. It also supports the authorization of outer uniside sectioning when performed according to Honda's official guidelines.
