quarter panels

Vehicle body sections

Quarter panels are the curved sheet metal sections forming the rear sides of a car's body, between the rear doors and the trunk or tailgate.

Unlike doors or fenders, quarter panels are welded to the frame rather than bolted on, making collision repair expensive: The accident crumpled the quarter panel, so we're looking at serious bodywork.
