QUARTER PANEL ASSEMBLY
The Camaro/Firebird convertible quarter panel assembly is specially designed for added
strength and rigidity. Additional panels have been added to the service part to permit easier
and faster service. The quarter panel assembly is attached to the vehicle structure with factory
welds. To remove the quarter panel assembly, the welds must be drilled out.
Replacement procedures for the quarter panel assembly on convertibles are not the same as
for the hardtop. On convertibles, the OEM quarter panel assembly must be cut just above where
it is welded to the rocker panel. The service part is then trimmed and plug welded to the flange
of the OEM panel.
REMOVE OR DISCONNECT
1. Remove all related panels and components.
2. Visually inspect and restore as much damage as possible to factory specifications.
3. Remove sealers, sound deadeners and corrosion materials, as necessary. Pay special
attention to the joint where the outer quarter panel attaches to the rocker panel.
4. Locate, mark and drill out factory welds, as necessary. Do not drill out the factory
welds attaching the quarter panel to the rocker panel. Note the number of welds for
installation of the new assembly.
5. Apply a piece of one-inch tape at the bottom of the front lower section of the original
quarter panel where it attaches to the rocker panel (figure 1).
6. Cut the original quarter panel at the top edge of the tape. Remove the panel from the
vehicle. Remove the tape from the flange.
7. Bend the remaining portion of the original quarter panel assembly up and inboard. This
will allow the new panel to be positioned properly when it is installed.
