Proper Steps when Replacing A Steel Quarter Panel in Collision Repair

Standard Operating Procedure for the replacement of a steel panel, for example, a quarter panel as seen in this video. Use the 3M™ File Belt Sander with Cubitron™ II and Scotch-Brite™ Durable Flex Belts to aid in seam sealer, coatings, and spot well removal/prep for new panel. Be sure to reapply corrosion protection with 3M™ Rust Fighter-I™ or Cavity Wax and replace NVH/pillar foams as needed to match OEM.

You forgot to show us how to cut off the used quarter panel that these scumbag insurance companies fish out the junk yard.

[@hunnyBear-wp4bh]

And how..

[@thetradinggoat5101]

Facts bruh.. this industry is terrible.

[@BayAreaWrecker]

There's nothing wrong with it if it end up looking oem wich is the literally the point

[@nc240coupe]

You refuse to use those and request oem new quarter panel. Used quarters from a salvage yard are a liability, they also don’t pay or understand the process in cutting one off and that you have to do it clean and precise to plug weld it back on, but also plug welding is not a recommended procedure anymore, the manufacturers want a uni spot welder on all accessible seams.

What about Ultra high-strength Steel

[@handyishrandyish334]

What about the back side of the new panel does it not need scuffed and some kind of primer applied

[@ProyectoInnovador-hy6dw]

Nice Video! Excuse me for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you thought about - Trentvorty Safe Vehicle Theorem (google it)? It is a great one off product for discovering how to repair your car the simple way minus the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my old buddy Taylor after many years got cool results with it.

[@nc240coupe]

I usually d/a 600 and red scotch brite the back side and use olive green e-coat even though it’s not “true” e-coat, e-coat is a dipping process applied through charged material so it’s mainly to match oem finish, also weldthru primer the edges

How much does a job like that cost

A lot 😂

[@John-lc2lz]

Depends on the panel... but if you pay double for the left side you get the right side free.

[@Kobe29261]

Typically unless you are doing it yourself its prohibitively expensive in most places especially in the US

[@Alouncara]

I just got quoted $3600 to repair mine...

[@covidhoax7646]

Have these people seen how the body shop actually works? Lol...

[@richardward7528]

Whattt !!!!!!! what happened to drilling out spot welds. Far too rough for my liking,

[@phillipmccalley2864]

This is about 3x faster and actually more precise in care for the existing panels being re-welded. Give one a try and you’ll hardly ever want to pick up a spot cutter bit again.

[@yetiandbean9223]

I agree with Phillip, tried it both ways and I do it this way to get the damaged panel off and it leaves the panel on the car in much better condition. Then drill the spot welds out the replacement panel if you haven't been able to get a prepped repair panel and had to use a quarter cut etc.

[@arturogotti3790]

@@yetiandbean9223 what is the tool called? Belt sander?

[@BOOGiNS]

this looks impossible

[@blob_loblaw]

Rough as guts

[@minskimia]

Ok looks pretty cool. What about when the host panel is damaged? Then what about the host panel holding that one on? The car then is a writeoff. What a joke this video is. No real bodyshops do it this way. Insurance companies will not pay for it. Its bodywork.. Not rocket science.. lol

[@GOOSE-ep1iq]

Yes we actually do it this way in every shop I have worked at for years. Same way with rear body panels, rockers ect. And if the host panel is damaged it must either be repaired or replaced.

[@John-lc2lz]

Have you ever worked in Collision repair... prepping and floor sweeping do not count.
