cgguy09 Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Hey guys. My passenger side rocker panel is looser then a date on prom night but I can't figure out how to tighten it. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks! -Colin CSM 07SGT1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 The rocker panel is held in with a number of plastic clips; several side, several on the bottom and two up front. The side ones are the T-type clips, while the bottom ones are trim clips, or christmas tree clips. The two front are V-type clips that use center pins.

So if I push on the rocker panel it should clip back in? Thanks, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalwrench Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Yes, try pushing it back on. The panel is made of urethane, so it will flex a lot before breaking. Sometimes though, the clip may be off center which require partial removal and a long set of pliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kahmann Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I had the same issue with my driver's side rocker panel. Turned out the very rear clip had disappeared. Ford wants like $7 or $8 per clip, which is nuts, but there's really no other clean way to repair it. The clips are easy to deal with and socal's right, the panels tolerate a lot of abuse.

socalwrench Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yeah, I had to buy a few of the front bumper clips, and they were $3 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
