Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2018 Acura ILX
I-CAR · November 30, 2018 · Acura
Summary
This document outlines the sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2018 Acura ILX, detailing which structural components can be sectioned or partially replaced at factory seams. It notes that while the outer uniside and trunk floor have sectioning procedures, the front lower/upper rails, rear rails, uniside reinforcement, inner uniside, and rear body panel do not.
What to do on the job
Refer to the official Acura Body Repair Manual (BRM) for specific partial replacement procedures at factory seams for the rails, and only perform sectioning on the outer uniside and trunk floor where OEM procedures are explicitly approved.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the replacement of complete structural assemblies (such as the uniside reinforcement, inner uniside, or rear body panel) when damaged, as Acura does not permit sectioning on these components. It also supports billing for partial replacement at factory seams for front and rear rails.
