The rear quarter panel is the body skin, or sheet metal, that runs
from the rearmost part of the rear door edge, around the back and to
the rear door on the other side of the car. On many cars, the rear
quarter panels are integral with the roof.
The rear quarter panel is composed of an outer skin and inner panels.
The inner panels are reinforcements for the rear of the passenger
compartment, the trunk, and the wheel housings. Without the inner
panels, there would be severe vibration and weak construction in the
back of the car.
