If you are using a Main labor code for another repair, use the Plus code labor operation 54 62 505 instead of
54 62 005.
Refer to KSD2/AIR for the corresponding flat rate unit (FRU) allowances.
Work time labor operation code 54 99 000 is not considered a Main labor operation. Also, since the “work
time” FRU allowance to be claimed is specified, a separate punch time is not required. However, it still
requires an explanation on the repair order and in the claim comments section.
Overlapping Labor Procedure – Other Repairs
If invoicing the KSD2 flat rate labor operation codes for other repair work results in overlapping labor, for
those flat rate labor operations that are affected, you can now:
• Replace the stated KSD2 “FRU allowance” with a “reduced FRU value” to eliminate the overlapping
labor.
For help in identifying the overlapping labor, please refer to the AIR FRU Plausibility Check (Overlapping
Labor Tool) that is located in the AIR Client.
Eligible other repair work being claimed under a different defect code will require separate punch times.
On the repair order and in the claim comment section, please identify and itemize those labor operations
being claimed with a “reduced FRU value.”

F23 CONVERTIBLE TOP HEADLINER WEAR REPAIR
Procedure:
Verify that holes
have been worn
through the
headliner, above
the rear window in
the area shown to
the left.
Note: Before replacing the headliner, a test must be performed to check the
clearance of the headliner and the storage compartment when the top is in the stowed
position. Refer to step 1 of this procedure for instructions.

1. Begin by taping 2
sheets of printer
paper together
length wise to form
one long sheet.
2. Starting with the
convertible top in
the position shown
to the left, drape
the paper over the
back of the rear
seat headrest and
rollover protection.
3. Be sure that the
paper hangs down
to the level
indicated in the
photo to the left.
The bottom of the
paper should be
level with the
bottom of the tape
strip as shown.

4. With an assistant
holding the paper
in place, fully open
and stow the
convertible top, but
do not close the
convertible top
compartment lid.
Refer to the photo
to the left.
Slide the paper out
from behind the
rollover protection.
Take note of the
resistance required
to slide the paper,
as this will be used
for comparison
after repairs are
made.
Note: After performing the clearance check and noting the pre-repair resistance,
the headliner will need to be replaced and an adjustment of the rollover protection and
rear window support will need to be made.
5. Following REP 54
34 130 “Replacing
roofliner”, replace
the headliner. Go
