Sectioning and Partial Part Replacement: 2019 Honda Clarity

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 2019 Honda Clarity.

The full OEM Partial Part Replacement Search page for the 2019 Honda Clarity 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, Honda has paid subscription website with collision repair information.

Both the front lower rail and the front upper rail can be partially replaced at factory seams. The rear rail has OEM procedures available for sectioning and partial part replacement. The outer uniside has sectioning procedures, while the uniside reinforcements and the inner uniside do not have OEM procedures available. The trunk can be partially replaced at factory seams in multiple locations. There are no procedures available for the rear body panel.
