Chevrolet/Rocker Panels

Expert: keith - 8/19/2005

Question
What is the best way to repair rocker panels, driver side with holes - the passenger side just has some surface rust. On a chevy cavalier Z-24 V-6 3.1 L. thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Amy, the best way to repair them would be to get replacment rocker panels to go right over the old ones. But if you want a quick repair, you can get a fiberglass body repair kit and put it over the holes, sand it down and apply gravel gaurd to them and paint them. I hope this helps you if you need more info just let me know. Regards, Keith.

Comment	Thanks Keith ---- it was the wheel bearing --- right side though. A Mr. Goodwrench who actually drove the car picked the same side but your method of checking them saved me an hour or two on the other side.
