Y1
Y1 means a small crack, hole or tear.
A small split rather than a dent. Where it sits tells you what it is: on a bumper or a light it is cracked plastic, on a seat or a door card it is torn trim.
Cracked plastic on a 1990s Japanese car is a parts hunt, not a repair. Original bumpers, lenses and trim for these models have been getting scarce for a decade, and reproduction quality varies widely.
Torn seat bolsters are the most common Y on a sports car. The driver's outer bolster goes first, and correct cloth for an S15 or an Evo is now the expensive part of the job.
What it should do to your bid
Cheap on paper. Check the part exists before you assume the low number.
Where sources disagree
Guides split on whether Y measures a crack in plastic or a tear in trim. Both readings are in use, and the position on the diagram decides which one applies.
We tell you this rather than picking the reading that sounds most confident. The legend printed on your own sheet is the authority for your own car.
