Outer Front Pillar, Center Pillar
and Quarter Panel Sectioning
CAUTION: When performing service on or near the Supplemental
Inflatable Restraint (SIR) components or the SIR wiring, the SIR system
must be disabled. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air
bag deployment, personal injury or unnecessary SIR system repairs.
The full body side outer panel comes as a one-piece assembly and can be
replaced at factory seams after removal of glass and roof. Any one of these
procedures can be performed separately, or in any combination, dependent
upon the extent of damage to the vehicle. Sectioning must take place in
specified areas only (Fig. 1-1). Remove front glass when sectioning front pillar
and rear glass for rear pillar repair.
IMPORTANT: When replacing panels that involve servicing stationary
glass, refer to GM Service Bulletin 43-10-48 before performing any
priming or refinishing.
