The door frame opening is a unique laser welded design incorporating multiple metal thickness in order to ensure the structural integrity of the cab. Replace the door frame at the factory seams. Door frame replacement requires the removal of the roof panel, the windshield and the cab rear corner.
Important: Sectioning is only recommended for the outer panel. If any inner panel is damaged beyond repair, replace the inner panel at the factory seams.
Sectioning procedures have been developed as a more cost-effective alternative to complete replacement. The specific area to be sectioned is determined by the extent of the damage to the vehicle. Refer to Outer Door Frame Sectioning , Outer Door Frame Sectioning , or Outer Door Frame Sectioning .
