Lower Rocker Panel


This gas-counterpressure structural-foam molded 1-piece rocker panel has Class A surfaces front and back, solves gap and fit issues, and eliminates the need for fasteners on the back. The fully recyclable 15% talc-filled TPO eliminates 5 previous components, eliminates warpage, and shows no surface porosity or sink marks. It offers increased strength and passes all high-speed flutter tests, achievable with variable wall thicknesses thanks to gas-counterpressure.  The final product eliminated 100% of the assembly labor and components in the earlier multi-piece design and offered the highest quality and durability at the lowest cost and weight.
