Sectioning and Partial Part Replacement: 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan

One of the top technical inquires received at Ask I-CAR is “Is there a sectioning or partial replacement procedure available?” To help answer this question, RTS has an OEM Partial Part Replacement Search available. Here you will find information on if these procedures are available on a specific vehicle. Let’s take a closer look at the Volkswagen Tiguan.

The full OEM Partial Part Replacement Search page for the 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan can be viewed on the I-CAR website. This will give you a good understanding on general areas for sectioning or partial replacement. I-CAR does not have permission to show exact locations for sectioning or the procedure itself. However, Volkswagen has a paid subscription website with collision repair information.

There are multiple sectioning locations and partial part replacement locations available for the front upper and lower rails. Multiple sectioning procedures are available for the outer uniside, according to the body repair manual. There is a single sectioning location for the uniside reinforcement, however, there are no OEM procedures available for the inner uniside.

There are two available sectioning locations for the rear rails. The trunk floor can be sectioned in multiple locations that are specified in the body repair manual. Multiple sectioning locations are available for the rear body panl, depending on damage location.
