Rocker panel question...
Going to do a fix on my cracked rocker panel today & have a quick question for the experts... Any problems or gotcha's when removing this piece (it's a stock Z)? I mean it looks easy enough but realize nothing is ever as easy as it seems 
TIA & Mahalo!!!

Have fun removing them

My rocker had to be fixed instead of replaced because to replace it, the top has to come off

Are you guys serious? My passenger rocker panel (maybe I'm naming this incorrectly, but the lowest panel on the car that runs parallel to the door sill I guess) is virtually impossible to removE? I have some rock chips I'd like to fix one day but not if it's that hard.

Now replacing a quarter panel on an frc.....TOTAL PITA!!!
