They are part of the exterior body panels. They keep bad stuff from getting inside. What state are you in - Penn?

a rocker panel is usaly the first place where a car gets rust on. like tenspeed said its part of the exterior panels . The good thing about a rocker panel is that it prevents the inside of the car from getting wet and from rust.

yes, I do live in PA. My car has no exterior rust. The rocker panels are covered by the plastic skirting...If the rockers don't really do anything for a car why am I being told that they need to be replaced?
