Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Service and Repair Manual: Welded Panel Replacement Procedure

NOTE:

When welding and dressing the parts, cover up holes of these parts with tape to prevent debris from entering.

• Assembly panel replacement or partial panel replacement

  Assembly panel replacement means replacement of a complete panel by cutting all the welded portions.

  Partial panel replacement is a method by which only the damaged portion of a panel is replaced. Partial panel replacement can be used when assembly panel replacement is too costly and time consuming, and when the damage is localized.

• Cutting positions for partial replacement

  The illustration is just example, please see each Body Repair Manual for details.

  

Cutting panels for partial replacement is not allowed on some portions. If panels are cut in improper portions, body strength cannot be maintained. The allowable positions vary with body structure, panel strength or shape and differ from model to model. They are indicated in the Body Repair Manual of each model. In principle, the following portions may be cut:

• Portions without reinforcement or ducting

• Portions where no stress concentration occurs

• Portions with small finish area where finishing can be easily accomplished (where the connected portions can be covered by garnish or moulding)

• Portions where work area or disassembling of parts is minimized
