Inquiry (as stated by inquirers on several occasions)

Could you look into replacement time for a left rocker panel on a 2001 Chrysler pt cruiser? We use ADP, and they only pay 10.0 hrs even when we added everything else that needed R&I, it was still not enough time. Thank you!

Suggestion

¨ Mitchell labor note confusing, may require review

¨ Time allowance insufficient, labor study may be required

Response:
Mitchell:

The labor allowance is accurate as published. The labor note, however, has been updated to clarify the operation. The labor note now reads, "w/quarter panel assy or quarter repair panel removed deduct 2.1."

Motor Information System 10/8/2004 - (DR3NP01) Changed labor time to 8.5 hours.
