Partial Replacement

Item	Description
1	Sectioning area
2	Manufacture weld joint

Decision Criteria

The following points a crucial to the decision of complete or partial replacement of the part(s).

Is the repair economically feasible.

Retention/integrity of the original joint.

In addition, sectioning or partial panel replacement must meet standardized guidelines or approved procedures in the model specific workshop manual for a sectional replacement solution in the damaged area.
For additional information, refer to: Body Panel Sectioning (501-26 Body Repairs - Vehicle Specific Information and Tolerance Checks, General Procedures).

Depending on the damaged area, the following points need to be considered when determining whether to perform a partial repair or complete replacement:

Sectioning cuts should be as short as possible.

Feature lines and panel margins must meet original manufacture design.
For additional information, refer to: Body and Frame (501-26 Body Repairs - Vehicle Specific Information and Tolerance Checks, Description and Operation).
.

Inner reinforcement panels must not limit the straightening work.

Inner reinforcement profiles in the pillar areas must allow for separation.

Partial replacements on structural frame sections must be allowed for the specific vehicle being repaired. If no procedure exists, it must be assumed no sectioning is allowed.

The large surface welding seams at the connections must be restored.

Advantages of Partial Replacement

A partial replacement repair offers many advantages for a professional repair of accident damage:

Repairs can be made both in the outer panel area (e.g. side frame) and in the inner areas (e.g. structural member, trunk floor).

The repair can be limited to the actual damaged area.

Reduction of repair costs, as aggregates and other components can usually remain in the vehicle.

Complete Replacement

In a complete replacement, the original connections are largely reused.

A complete replacement is advantageous if the damaged body part can be detached from its original connections and the replacement part can be fitted without creating additional joints.

A complete replacement is necessary if there is no sectional replacement solution.
