• PL and PL­R ­ Some repairability depending upon the type of plastic involved, the degree of damage, and the com­
ponent function. Cosmetic components such as fascias (PL) have a higher degree of repair allowed than those com­
ponents which can carry components and loads. Where PL­R components are bonded to steel structure, Chrysler
Group LLC will identify the proper adhesive to attach the replacement panel. Repair materials for PL are commonly
available in the collision repair market.
• CO ­ Composite materials may be fiber reinforced (ex: Kevlar) panels or co­molded assemblies of steel and plastic.
Any of these require specialized repair materials and processes.
Additional information on sectioning of components will also be identified in publications such as the Chrysler Group LLC
Non­Structural Sheet Metal Repair Guide (81­316­0610) and Structural Sectioning Guide (81­316­0859).
