Notice: Sectioning should take place only in the locations recommended in the service instructions. Failure to follow these instructions may compromise the structural integrity of the vehicle.

Important: When replacing panels that involve servicing stationary glass, refer to GM Service Bulletin  no. 43-10-48 before performing any priming or refinishing.

The outer door frame can be replaced as a complete service part or various segments can be sectioned. Complete service part replacement requires the removal of the roof panel. Sectioning the outer and inner door frame reinforcement is usually much faster and more cost effective. Since the outer door frame is manufactured as a single component, service parts for sectioning must be cut from the service panel and modified as necessary. Sectioning should not take place in the shaded areas.
