Subject:      Rusted westy rocker panel
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hello Volks

The drivers side rocker panel seam is rusted through on my new 90 Westy. I
assume this is related to the effects of the insulation behind the panel.
The rocker and the lower section of the side panel needs to be replaced. I
assume this is a fairly common problem on the Westys.

1. Are there replacement panels available to repair this problem?

2. Is there a repair panel available that would replace the rocker panel and
extend above the rusted bottom section of the side panel?

3. Will I need to remove the appliances (refrigerator, stove and sink)to
give the body shop access to the interior to do the job correctly?

Any/all input is greatly appreciated.

Gary
