Where is the rear panel located?
1 Answers
The rear panel of a car is the rear barrier of the trunk. It refers to the surrounding area below the trunk. Generally, the original rear panel is not integrated with the frame but is welded on. Introduction to the rear panel: The rear panel is part of the body covering. Replacing it will not cause significant depreciation. The rear panel is composed of several pieces rather than being a single unit. Deformation of the spare tire floor or the rear panel has minimal impact on the car, such as not affecting the vehicle's handling performance. Repair of a damaged rear panel: Therefore, if the rear panel is damaged, it is advisable to perform sheet metal repair if possible and avoid cutting. Once cutting is involved, the car is considered to have been in an accident. If the car is classified as an accident vehicle, its strength will decrease significantly after repair, and its resale value will drop considerably. If the repair involves only hammering or frame pulling without cutting or welding, it is not considered an accident vehicle. Although sheet metal repair does not classify the car as an accident vehicle and has little impact on resale, the actual situation should be analyzed. If the damage is severe, cutting repair must be performed. Once the rear panel undergoes cutting repair, it is crucial to apply sealant to the weld points to prevent rust, as the exposed welded areas are bare cast iron without paint protection and are prone to rust over time.
