Where is the rear panel located on a car?

The rear panel of a sedan is the rear barrier of the trunk. Below is relevant knowledge about the rear panel: Composition of the rear panel: The rear panel is composed of several pieces combined together, not a single unit. Vehicle depreciation loss refers to the loss formed when a vehicle is damaged in a traffic accident and, although its performance is restored after repair, its service life, safety performance, handling performance, etc., are difficult to return to their previous state, inevitably reducing its actual value—that is, the loss caused by the accident leading to a decrease in the vehicle's value. Precautions: Deformation of the rear panel has very little effect on the car; aspects like the vehicle's handling performance are basically unaffected. If the rear panel is damaged, it should be repaired with sheet metal as much as possible, and cutting should be avoided to the greatest extent. Once cut, the vehicle is considered an accident car.
The rear panel is actually the steel plate at the very back of the trunk! When you lift the trunk mat, the metal plate closest to the rear end of the car is it. This component connects the rear bumper reinforcement and the left and right rear longitudinal beams, acting like a solid wall protecting the trunk. In sedans, it stands behind the spare tire well; in SUV hatchbacks, it sits right next to the tailgate frame. Some cars have holes in the rear panel for mounting rear parking sensor probes. During a rear-end collision, this panel deforms to absorb energy, preventing items in the trunk from being thrown into the cabin. You usually don't see it, but if it's missing, the trunk capacity becomes noticeably smaller.
