 The complexity involved in overlap identification prevents an all-inclusive allowance. However, we added additional clarification to the labor note stating all items that require removal in order to replace the Luggage Lid Hinge.

 The Actual time for the R&I of one Deck Lid Hinge is 1.4 and 1.7 if both are selected. This time does include the removal of the Package Tray Trim Panel and the Rear Seat Assembly. According to the manufacturer's current service information, the removal of the rear seat belts and trims are to be done after the removal of the rear seat. Therefore, those operations will not be considered in the R&I time of the Hinges. The operations considered for the R&I of these hinges can be viewed through the Labor Report.
