Instructions:

  3. Cut out the rusted or damaged rocker section; preserve as much surrounding metal as possible.
  4. Clean mating surfaces of paint, rust and debris with grinder and wire wheel for good weld penetration.
  5. Test-fit the replacement rocker panel and step plate; trim as needed for gap and contour alignment.
  6. Clamp the panel in place and transfer any required drill points or tack locations.
  7. Weld the panel using continuous or plug welds per original factory pattern; avoid overheating and distortion.
  8. Grind welds smooth and dress seams; apply seam sealer to all joints to prevent moisture intrusion.
