I-CAR · September 26, 2018 · Jeep
Summary
This article outlines the sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2017 Jeep Cherokee, detailing where sectioning is permitted and the required joint types. It highlights that while the front lower rail, outer uniside, inner uniside, and rear rail have approved sectioning locations, the front upper rail and uniside reinforcements do not and must be replaced at factory seams.
What to do on the job
Verify specific sectioning locations and joint specifications (such as butt joints with backing or structural adhesive) in the official Jeep Body Repair Manual before performing any structural cuts on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and materials required for sectioning procedures on the outer/inner uniside and rails, or to defend the necessity of full component replacement at factory seams for the front upper rail and uniside reinforcements where sectioning is strictly prohibited by Jeep.
