I'm getting ready to mount my rocker panels and I was wondering what is the proper fastening hardware to do the job. I can't seem to find any pictures. Is it a simple phillips machine screw from the top with a washer and nut from below? What about the bottom? Thanks.

The PO of my car installed aftermarket fiberglass rockers panels with aluminum rivets. I lost the passenger side rocker in a rain storm, but acquired another set. After inspecting the longs and repainting the replacement panels, also installed them with SS self-drilling screws top-side.
Because the OEM steel set, the first glass set and the replacement glass set all had different mounting hole locations, there are now three sets of holes in the sills. I thought it would be better to use the existing holes in the replacement rocker panels rather than trying to match up to the existing sill holes and ending up with more visible holes in the rocker panels. Does this make sense (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
