Instructions:
- Inspect the existing rocker and surrounding structure to assess rust, damage, and any inner rocker or pinch-weld issues that need attention.
- Remove door sill trim, kick panels, and any components obstructing access to the rocker. Support the door if necessary to prevent alignment shifts.
- Cut or grind away the old rocker panel and remove spot welds using a spot weld cutter or drill; retain any inner structure that is sound and remove only damaged metal.
- Clean and prepare the mating surfaces: remove rust, scale, and paint back to solid metal. Treat with rust inhibitor where needed.
- Trial-fit the new rocker panel and step plate, test alignment with door gaps and pinch seams, and mark any areas that need trimming or adjustment.
- Clamp the panel in place and perform plug/spot welds or continuous welds per your preferred method. Maintain proper heat control to avoid warping.
- Grind welds smooth, apply seam sealer to all joined seams, and repair any imperfections with body filler as required.
- Prime all bare metal and welded areas, then paint to match the vehicle. Reinstall trim, door sill components, and hardware.
- Double-check door operation and panel alignment; make final adjustments and touch up paint/sealer as needed.
