Cutting the rocker panel has minimal impact on the car. Here are some relevant details: 1. Rocker panel: Located below the four doors, it is typically made of hot-formed steel or other rigid materials. 2. Function of the rocker panel: In the event of an accident, the rocker panel, along with the B-pillar and door reinforcement beams, helps protect the vehicle's occupants. Therefore, the rocker panel is quite rigid, making it difficult to repair if dented. Due to its low position, the rocker panel is prone to scratches and dents from minor impacts. It is recommended to have the rocker panel repaired at a professional repair facility or a 4S shop, as general repair shops may not be able to handle it.
