Does anyone have experience with the removal and replacement of the rear quarter panels on a 2g dsm. I was hit by an old man over the weekend and the pas. quarter panel was destroyed. I am trying to figure out if this is a project I can do on my own. I mainly need to know how it is held on (rivets, welds, bolts). It doesn't sound too hard but I don't want to get into something I can't finish. Thanks

AHHH a real Q =-)
Well hate to tell ya but leave this to the Pro's. it is welded and plastic ( bondo ) that holds it on and makes it look good. Depending on the hit it could be fixed with a dent puller and a skilled Plastic man but to replace will cost a good amount and in the long run is the correct fix

Thanks man. After looking at it in the light and pulling back some of the seam sealer I came to the same conclusion. Time to make a body shop appointment!!
Here is what the damage looks like by the way. :(
