How does a rocker panel guard work, and what is its purpose? The next time you open your car door, look down. Your rocker panel is the metal component of your vehicle's mainframe that sits below the door. A rocker panel guard protects this important component from dirt, debris, and corrosion.

The rocker panel itself strengthens the frame and helps to keep it from slumping in the center. Sometimes, the rocker panel can experience damage. Adding a rocker panel guard on top can assist with safeguarding the rocker panels on your vehicle and sustain their appearance throughout your Nissan's useful life. Consider this: whenever you get in or out of your vehicle, your shoes can carry muck and filth into your vehicle. That outside debris likely gets attached to the rocker panel when you step over it, leading to rust and possibly costly repairs to your Nissan's body and frame.

A Nissan Rocker Panel Guard (Right) functions as a rocker panel barrier. Should your rocker panel guard become fractured, rust causing components such as water, salt, and debris could be leaking into the space between your cracked guard and rocker panel. Repair a broken or non-existent rocker panel guard with a brand-new Nissan part that is a perfect fit for your automobile for quality protection and a seamless, hot-off-the-lot feel.
