Sectioning and Partial Part Replacement: 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL)

One of the top technical inquiries 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 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL).

The full OEM Partial Part Replacement Search page for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JL) 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, Jeep has a paid and free subscription website with collision repair information.

The front lower rail does not have a partial part replacement at factory seams, but it does have one location in which it can be sectioned. Both the front upper rail and the rear rail have no OEM procedures for sectioning or partial part replacement.

The outer uniside has one location in which it can be sectioned. The rear body panel, trunk floor, uniside reinforcement, and inner uniside do not have OEM procedures available.
