The 1968-1972 Chevy II / Nova 2 Door Coupe Upper Left Quarter Sail Repair Panel is a precisely stamped steel replacement part designed to restore the area where the roof meets the upper rear quarter on the driver side. Commonly affected by rust and damage, the sail panel is essential for both the appearance and structural integrity of your Nova. Engineered specifically for 2-door coupe models, this panel features factory-style contours for a seamless fit with adjacent roof and quarter panels. It’s the perfect solution for repairing localized damage without replacing the full quarter panel.
Installation:
Difficulty: 4/5 – Requires cutting, welding, and shaping; recommended for experienced restorers or professionals.
Cut out the rusted or damaged sail panel section and clean the surrounding metal. Test-fit the new panel, trimming as necessary for precise alignment. Weld the replacement panel into place, grind the welds smooth, and apply seam sealer. Finish with primer and bodywork to integrate it with the surrounding panels.
