One of the top technical inquiries received at Ask I-CAR, “Is there a sectioning or partial replacement procedure available?” To help answer this question, RTS has an OEM Partial Part Replacement Search that tells you if these procedures are available on a specific vehicle. Let’s take a closer look at the 2017 Nissan Maxima.
The full 2017 Nissan Maxima OEM Partial Part Replacement Search page is on the RTS website. This gives you a good understanding of general areas for sectioning or partial replacement. I-CAR does not have permission to show exact locations for sectioning or the procedure itself. However, Nissan has a paid subscription website with collision repair information.
The Maxima has a single partial replacement at factory seams location for the front lower rail and the rear rail. However, the upper rail has multiple locations for partial replacement. These include a replacement procedure for both the inner and outer upper rail.
There are multiple outer uniside sectioning locations, including procedures for the outer A-pillar, outer B-pillar, and the outer quarter panel. Partial part replacement at factory seams is available in a single location for the trunk floor.
