The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova 2 Door Coupe Right Inner Roof Structure Side Rail Support is a key structural component designed to reinforce the passenger side roof rail from within. Specifically built for 2-door coupe models, this heavy-gauge stamped steel support runs along the inside of the roof structure, providing crucial rigidity and strength from the A-pillar to the rear sail panel area. It plays an essential role in maintaining body alignment and overall roof integrity—especially important when replacing outer panels or repairing collision damage. A must-have for comprehensive restorations or structural repairs.
Installation:
Difficulty: 5/5 – In-depth installation requiring cutting, welding, and careful structural alignment; professional installation recommended.
Begin by removing the necessary interior trim and roof components. Cut out the original damaged support and clean the surrounding area. Test-fit the new panel, ensuring proper alignment with the A-pillar and quarter area. Weld securely into place, grind welds smooth, and apply seam sealer and primer before reinstalling surrounding panels and interior components.
