Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2017 Lincoln Continental
I-CAR · August 24, 2018 · Lincoln
Summary
This document outlines the approved sectioning and partial part replacement procedures for the 2017 Lincoln Continental. It highlights that sectioning is permitted on the front lower rail (requiring a backer) and outer uniside (A-pillar, B-pillar, and quarter panel), but explicitly prohibits sectioning or partial replacement of the rear rails, which must be replaced in full.
What to do on the job
Perform full replacement of the rear rails if damaged, as sectioning and partial replacement at factory seams are strictly prohibited for these components.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the cost of full rear rail replacement on estimates and supplements, as Lincoln explicitly prohibits sectioning or partial replacement for these parts. Additionally, ensure estimates include backing plates (which can be fabricated from unused portions of the original or replacement panels) when sectioning the front lower rail or outer uniside.
