How to remove/install rocker panel?
Let's just say I backed over a curb and popped up the rocker panel on the drivers side. About 8 inches worth behind the passenger door. Can someone tell me how to remove/install the rocker panel? Send me a PM with pdf files of the shop manual if you have it or post it here.
No paint damage that I can see. Just the upper lip is sticking out about 1/2 inch and I don't want to bugger anything up by shoving/prying when I should be pushing and tapping.
thanks

MIne has popped at times. I just push on the rocker panel to get it hooked in. Try it, it will not harm the panel.
Just push in. The hook should engage. If it does not, then you need to take it off and replace the latch.
There are a few bolts and hooks. Let me see if I can pull up the page that shows the rocker panel and I will post.
I have been thinking of removing and replacing one of the hooks, hence mine pops out every now and then.

Thanks, the photo really helped. I was able to reinstall it but I still have a small dent on the rear bottom rear so it is off to Sewell for a new one. It even comes pre painted in Absolute Red which is a big, big plus. I might as well order new clips at the same time as I know I will break a few.
Of course I will use the discount I get for being a member here.
