quarter panel

Car side panel

A quarter panel is the sheet metal section forming the side of a car's body between the rear door and the trunk, encompassing the wheel well.

Unlike doors or fenders, quarter panels are welded to the frame rather than bolted, making collision repair expensive: The accident crumpled the rear quarter panel.
