Well the rocker panels gave out on the '96 Cirrus... I was told they were galvanized when we bought the car new.... :shakehead
The plastic wheel well guards up front trapped all the road crap and rusted them the inside out... !
The insteps, door jambs and all are just fine too... just will not pass inspection which it will be due for in a couple of months.
The car runs great, 168,000 miles on a 2.5 V6.
We replaced the car with a new Sonata, nice car and all that... kept the Cirrus as a beater and I plan to repair the rockers however, I cannot find repair panels for just the rockers. :(
Anyone here know of a source for the rocker panels only...? I do not want to purchase the entire side panels with the A,B & C pillars only to cut 3/4 of it away and chuck it...:rolleyes:
Thanks,
Rob
