Note:

It has been noted that what may also be needed for the replacement of the rear body panel are the end plates, as Motor describes it, and rear upper panel as Mitchell describes (part # 1J5 813 309). The installation time (plus paint) is needed for the replacement of the back panel. Also what may not be considered in the back panel time allowance is the R&I of the back seats (at .5 each) to access the removal of the trunk trim.

Question: Why are there two different descriptions for the same part?

Suggestion:

¨       Motor/CCC

1.       Increase time allowance for additional steps required

2.       Increase information in labor notes indicating the “end plates”
