How many parts do I need?
I am looking to replace the rocker panel on my 2002 Volvo s40. The parts number I believe is 30618433 (for the right or passenger side of the car).
I am believe that something else is required. The rocker molding seal perhaps. It parts number is 30808522 (again for the right side). Or maybe the rocker molding clip. It part number is 30808521 (also for the right side). My original molding was damaged when someone tried to raise the passenger side using a jack to replace a tire on the front. I am just not sure if all of this is needed. It certainly requires the Rocker panel. That I am certain of. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance. Respectfully, Newport_j |
You're talking about the rocker panel molding, not the rocker panel.
I've taken that off. It's not obvious how to do it and I broke the clips while experimenting. I don't think you need the seal but you will need half a dozen clips 3080852. |
Okay thanks I will try. By the way, what is the seal for?

I put a water hose down in that area to flush it out from inside when the door was open, plenty of dirt/leaves accumulation. One side took a while before it drained. I then took the plastic wheelwell cover off (lower portion only) and the amount of sand that came out from that area was incredible, quite the pile on the driveway. I then washed the area out. There is a piece of foam that runs the height of the fender that should be pulled out for proper cleaning.
When completely dry, I sprayed undercoating before putting it back together. I can see how the lower fenders rust over time as the build up prevents drainage and remains wet. My 04 S40 car doesn't have any external rust in this area thankfully. |
