There is a support to the rocker panel top just in front of the trailing arm. Mine has broken away. It's a tricky area to get to anyway, has anyone done this repair ?

There was a screw holding the strap to the rocker edge, but the hole gave way and there is little to grab onto.

I havent done the repair but I have removed mine while I install GT flares. It is welded from the factory, but I guess if you dont/cant weld it you could use a rivet or two for a semi-permanent repair.

You say there isnt much to grab onto, so welding is probably best.

I'll shoot a pic--it's such a tight spot, I don't think it will show much.
