Re: WTB: rust free rear quarter panels

I was wondering if I should have new rubber edge guards put on after the quarter panel repairs or if I should just leave them off.

I am not sure if these help contribute to the rust or help avoid it. They are not cheap at $53 a piece but if they add protection they would be worth it. I think they add a little bit of polish to the looks, but I don't really miss them when not there.

Re: WTB: rust free rear quarter panels

They may add some protection in the short term but long term they accelerate rust by holding dirt and moisture against the quarter panel. I would rather go with some really tough bedliner-like coating, which is probably what I'll end up doing once I've repaired my car.

Quarter panel repair scheduled

Monday my car goes in for quarter panel repairs. I'm a bit nervous and hoping that it goes well, and that I don't see rust again for a long time. If all goes well I plan to have the roof redone in the summer.

Big thank you to Dan Sr who sold me this beauty and had it shipped all the way from Surrey, BC.


This should hopefully take care of the passenger side:


The drivers side is not as bad and I have decide to try a weld in repair.

Rust Repair underway.

Visited the shop today to see the progress. Feels good to have it started after eyeing that rust for so long. (my car and I just renewed our vows )

Like Tapani's car in his recent rust repair thread (which turned out awesome) the inside of the quarter that meets up with outside metal of the quarter was rusted through badly. It will be replaced with a Subaru replacement panel.

Here is the backside, the smaller more deteriorated piece of metal is the inner section


Outside of piece


Here is the cut away. The rusted section was not as extensive a Tapani's. The front of the wheel well opening below the cladding was clean. We are not going to be replacing the entire quarter panel after all, we will most likely just be using a section of it.

Re: WTB: rust free rear quarter panels

Looking good so far. Hoping to be able to get the same spot fixed later this summer

Re: WTB: rust free rear quarter panels

Oh, looks too familiar ��!

Good luck! How's the spot where the side garnish screws to the quarter? Just in front of the wheel.

Why not continue my thread ��?

Good idea, I'll add to your thread so that the repair info is in the same place.
