When performing quarter panel replacement, the labor procedure does not include allowances for necessary precautionary measures to remove undamaged urethane set glass, nor clean-up of the old adhesive on the glass. If the existing urethane set glass is undamaged and will be reused, the labor time difference between the glass R&R and R&I represents the not included allowance. This additional labor option is available to select in the “Add to R&R” in the part selection menu.
The estimating databases are all intended to be used as a GUIDE ONLY – it is important to remember that the auto body professional performing the repair is in a position to thoroughly inspect, diagnose and identify the methodology and their unique cost of the vehicle damage repair.
