Sectioning And Partial Part Replacement: 2020 Hyundai Sonata
I-CAR · July 29, 2020 · Hyundai
Summary
This article outlines the sectioning and partial part replacement guidelines for the 2020 Hyundai Sonata, detailing which structural components can be sectioned or partially replaced and which require full replacement. It highlights that while the front and rear rails, outer uniside, and uniside reinforcement have specific partial replacement or sectioning procedures, the trunk floor, inner uniside, and rear body panel must be replaced in full.
What to do on the job
Verify the specific sectioning and partial replacement procedures in the official Hyundai body repair manual before beginning repairs, ensuring that adhesive, spot welding, plug welding, or open butt joint seam welding are applied exactly as specified for each approved component.
How to use it
Use this document to justify the labor and materials required for full component replacement of the inner uniside, trunk floor, and rear body panel, as Hyundai does not permit sectioning on these parts. Additionally, use it to support the inclusion of OEM-specified adhesives and welding operations during front/rear rail and outer uniside repairs.
