Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2018 GMC Acadia
I-CAR · August 28, 2018 · GMC
Summary
This document outlines the approved sectioning and partial part replacement procedures for the 2018 GMC Acadia. It identifies specific allowable locations for the front rails, rear rail, outer uniside, rear body panel, and trunk floor, while explicitly prohibiting sectioning on the uniside reinforcement and inner uniside.
What to do on the job
Verify specific sectioning and partial replacement locations in the GM Body Repair Manual, and use Squeeze Type Resistance Spot Welds (STRSW) unless access limitations require 8 mm (5/16 in) MIG/MAG plug welds.
How to use it
Use this document to justify labor times for sectioning and partial part replacements on the 2018 GMC Acadia. Ensure the estimate reflects the requirement for STRSW or 8 mm plug welds, and use the prohibition of sectioning on the inner uniside and uniside reinforcement to defend complete component replacement when those parts are damaged.
