Repairing Rocker Panel Rust

That is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Thanks so much for sharing, I'm going to try this on my old rusty truck.

No sarcasm your so smart 💜💜

well, it looks like my rust bucket is about to be 90% bondo and spray foam

Wait, you think a full frame vehicles rocker panel is structural? it is not and can't cause inspection failure.

Don’t know how long that would last but it certainly looks good enough form my house.🤣

Thank you for Psting!!! 65 yrs old and this is doable for me!

That looks great! Thinking about doing this with my 06 yukon Denali ...great work guys!!

I wouldn’t recommend this as the foam and bondo hold moisture and will rot the metal out around it faster. But hey it’ll get you by if you need to

Good Looking job, But how long did it last before it detreated again?

Good job. Looks good enough. For $40 of material and 5 hours work, worth it.

It's been 2 years, hows it holding up?? I'm ok with people doing this kind of "repair to their own vehicles. My problem is people doing this just to pass inspection to sell it. I've seen it done before. At least be honest to the buyer.

Really !!! You did an good job there. WOW it does look good and it will pass for sure. You go girl!!

Out of 10 videos yours was the one i chose how to do my truck And I've seen professional Working on rocket panels But I think your way is the easy way and fast.

What's it look like 2 years later?

in case of an accident.. your rocker panel will absorb nothing to the impact...

Good temp fix

What did you use to cut off the foam?

im bout to try this this wkend on my 02 camry. i have rusted out areas of my car rockers on both sides. went to home depot and got everything i need to start. crossing fingers

Nicely done. I have an 03 Dodge Ram. Bad rocker panel damage. Smh. No body shop will touch it. I even asked for a quick bondo repair. Nothing. Great video- gonna knock this out see how it looks.

Hahaha 😆

If you're keeping the vehicle, foam is the worst thing to do. Foam is like a magnet for moisture and everything around the foam will rust even faster.

Your awesome! Great clever fix! America is great because of people like you! Thanks for sharing!!!

I think it looks good and I need to pay someone to do this to my van

“Now remember folks…this is only a temporary fix…unless it works” -Red Green. No seriously, that looks very good.

Nice if you're selling it with in a week 😜

Nice job , gotta do this on my cobalt. JR

Isn't that Pannell structural??

Use closed cell foam or else it will attrack moisture and do more rust👍

Not on my car....

Good job!!!

Shera, time to update video. Maybe Superior Plus Oil will give you a yardstick :~)
Nice presentation. Looks easy when others do it. I'll try it. If Derry Meineke doesn't pass inspection, I'll show em your video.
PS: Fred never gave me yardstick.

Foam absorbs water, why use it?

Great job!!!

What States have a no rust law? I never have heard of this!

Great video thank you!

In the body shop world this is called a hack job .this would not pass a inspection

Isn't it sad how cars are made to rot intentionally? I say the manufacturers are all guilty as hell! They KNOW their cars will rust. This, so you come crawling back for more. Planned obsolescence.

This was awesome

You know you can just buy new rocker panels, yes?

That's crazy your state would fail it for that. In my state, as long as the structure integrity hasn't been compromised, then your good to go. Inspection is all about safety. Looks good though. Perfectly fine temporary repair.

Your using the wrong foam need to use close cell not open cell foam

I'm so glad that where I live in Canada we don't have inspections unless you move provinces

I'm just wondering how this turned out? I also live in NH and need my 1988 Toyota Camry to pass. Finding rocker panels for it is nearly impossible so i need to do a "for now" repair until I can do something more permanent

Use mineral spirits to get it off your hand

Nice

I like it

Where can I buy that cut off saw?

Damn should of just got An outer rocker and used self tappers to put it on if you couldn’t weld

Can you tell him to come fix mine I’ll pay 2k😆
