Request

What does Acura say about using adhesive to replace welded parts?

Response

Per the Collision Industry Position Statements “Acura Unibody Repair””:

”Adhesives and Welding

Using adhesives in place of welding for component replacement is not an authorized American Honda repair method. It is important to repair at factory seams using the same procedures as the factory assembly process except where specified otherwise in the Honda or Acura body repair manual.”
