Ask I-CAR
2016 Dodge Journey
Request
Is there a sectioning procedure available for the quarter panel reinforcement?
Response
Dodge does not have a sectioning procedure for the quarter panel reinforcement.
Per I-CAR curriculum developed in cooperation with the vehicle maker: “Sectioning may only be done to the extent shown in the repair manual. If the damage extends beyond the sectioning location, entire part replacement is the only acceptable repair.”
