    has anyone used the rocker or quarter panels they have them listed for the maverick just wondered if anyone has used them.

    and if so how good of a fit are they and do they last?

    Cool, I didn't know they listed them anymore. They used to years ago, but I thought they quit selling them. I don't know about the quality.

    I agree with Ray, not on my car.

    Don't hide the rust, cut it out, treat the area and repair.

    Never heard of anybody trying them. Probably some kind of universal weatherstrip. Might be worth taking a look at. Let us know what you think. :cool:
