Door Frame
Sectioning
IMPORTANT: Section in specified areas
only. Sectioning outside of these areas
may compromise the structural integrity
of the vehicle. Do not section in laser
weld (1) areas of door frame sections.
The door frame opening is a unique
laser-weld design incorporating multiple
metal thicknesses to ensure the
structural integrity of the cab. The door
frame can be replaced at factory seams,
but requires the removal of the roof
panel, windshield and quarter panel.
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.
