Default Rocker Panel Replacement

Has anyone replaced their rocker panels? Is it a bolt on or do you have bonding also? I have a break at the fender screw attach point on the drivers side, I have not taken anything apart but the fender is loose at that point.

This seems to be a pretty common occurance. Mine did the same thing. The rocker panels are bonded to the frame and are very difficult to replace. I made a couple of small metal plates to slip up under the fiberglass panels and screwed them together. Then I immediately purchased A&A's rocker rail protectors.....money well spent.
