Default Loose rocker panel

Anyone know the cost of fixing a loose rocker panel, right behind the front wheel (drivers side)? Yes, some yoyo at a oil change place.
I'm lots more careful now...keep your eyes on these guys.

Look underneath and see if there is any damage. Mine were sticking out a little so I loosened the screw that holds the panel to the frame and pushed in on the panel with my knee and retightened the screw.
If something is broken this wont help but there are some repair parts in Ecklers catalog that you can use. Its just a piece of metal that you attach to the unbroken part of the rocker and then screw the bracket into the frame.
