Thanks to the PDF, removing the rocker panels are fairly easy.
Before
After. I had some wheel cleaner that someone gave to me that I don't use. But it works great on rocker panels. Wheel cleaner, a scrubby, then some polishing compound, then wax and almost brand new.
While the panels are off, this is a good time to blow out leaves and debris from behind your fender. I used an air gun from the wheel housing and also from the door opening.
I wiped down the hidden parts of the body with some Express Wax.
This has to be the best the rockers looked since I have owned the car!
Got a picture of what you need? I have a lot of extra fasteners.
There is a couple of views in the PDF referred to that shows the fasteners in question. CLICK
The white fasteners showing are;
Chrysler part# 05101311AA
Mercedes part# 170 988 08 78
I broke some of these when I did this job, they were $4.00 each at that time and are probably twice that now. I purchased them at the Chrysler dealer.
There is quite possibly a lot of garbage behind the rear of the front fenders, when I repaired the W/washer tank I found a lot of leaves and debris there. It is a good spot for rust to start unnoticed.
