Buying a used quarter panel: what to check

  1. Inspect wheel arch for hidden body filler: Run a magnet across wheel arch contours and lower dog-leg sections to detect thick plastic filler or old rust repairs.
  2. Verify factory spot weld seam margins: Ensure the yard cut the panel with generous margins along roof pillars and rocker panels for easy sectioning.
  3. Check inner wheelhouse and tail lamp pocket: Examine cut sections for concealed rear collision frame damage, buckled metal, or severe inner seam rust.
  4. Confirm fuel door and body line geometry: Verify side body molding tracks, fuel filler door shapes, and side marker light cutouts match your model year.
  5. Apply weld-through primer to joint flanges: Coat bare steel inner flanges with weld-through primer before welding to stop rust from forming between panels.
