Thanks. I just wanted to start a thread because I couldn't find a forum post showing a complete outer rocker replacement on the 3rd gen EL.
They all tend to rust here if they ever see any salt. I was nervous about how it would come out, but I am thrilled with his work. I think it will last at...
You should really start a new thread, but call a ford dealership parts dept with your vin handy. They will look it up and order it for you, it's like $10.
I did not get a pic of the inners but they were solid. The main area was where I poked the hole through, I think there was a salty puddle resting in there for half the year. That is why it's important to get to it before it spreads to the inners.
Yes that is true. I have read on this forum that several people have used them for the 3rd gen as there weren't any significant changes to body design. I will have to get a couple of those front door jam pieces from the parts dept because 3rd gen doesn't have them but hopefully it will work...
Here is my truck and current state of passenger side rocker after 9 upstate NY winters, heavy salt. My parts get here today, I will drop it off at the body shop on Tuesday.
Thanks, I think those are the "cover up" style rockers. I really want to fix it so the rust doesn't spread to the thicker, much more expensive, inner rockers panels. This involves removing the doors and fender, cutting and welding. I started a new thread to document the process.
Thanks, what did you do with the rockers you bought, want to sell them? I already ordered from carparts.com but they can cancel because they aren't shipping for awhile.
I figured I would start a thread because after a lot of searching, I haven't seen too much discussion about a complete rocker replacement on the 3rd gen EL model.
I am going to do the passenger side this year because it is the worst, and the driver side next year or the year after depending on...
Did you ever install these rockers on your 07? I plan on buying two for my passenger side because I have an EL. Hopefully the body shop can make them work.
I just bought a 2011 EL and I am going to repair the power running boards. The non-el running boards do not have the rod that connects the 2 brackets. I am thinking about getting rid of this rod so I don't have to swap the longer stainless dowels in the hinges. Is this rod used for the sole...
Also I have read on here that it's possible to order 4 of these rockers, to cut and splice and make 2 rockers for the EL...

Has anyone tried this? Looks like a better part than the ebay one.
Hello,
I am looking at purchasing a 2011 EL limited, 105k miles, in great shape. It has buckets, dvd and a moonroof, power boards that don't work. Mechanically its in excellent shape.
The Rocker panels on the other hand are not. They are designed poorly and upstate NY winters haven't been good...
