I-CAR · December 28, 2020 · Toyota
Summary
This article outlines the available sectioning and partial part replacement procedures for the 2020 Toyota Corolla, referencing Toyota's official body repair manual. It highlights that while sectioning is permitted on the front lower rails and uniside components, other areas like the front upper rails and rear body panel are restricted to partial or full-part replacement only.
What to do on the job
Verify the specific repair limitations for each structural component on the 2020 Toyota Corolla, ensuring sectioning is only performed where OEM-approved (such as front lower rails and unisides) and avoided where only full or partial replacement is permitted (such as front upper rails and the rear body panel).
How to use it
Use this document to justify the necessity of accessing the official Toyota Technical Information System (TIS) for the 2020 Corolla. It serves as evidence to insurers that sectioning is not universally permitted on all structural members (e.g., front upper rails and rear body panels require full or partial-part replacement rather than sectioning), justifying the specific repair methods and OEM subscription costs billed on the estimate.
