2006 Isuzu Ascender S, 5.3 M, 4WDSECTION Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Saab 9-7X. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The quarter panel may be serviced as a complete panel in the event the roof panel is to be replaced. Sectioning procedures have been developed to simplify the repair. The service part can be replaced by making sectioning cuts at the window pillars.
