Could someone jus brief this to me, it's happening to my car too... and how do i go about fixing it? Bondo?

Forgive my "newbieness"...

 

because moisture is easily trapped behind it

 

i have no rust.. it's nice to live in a all year round sunny enviornment

 

you prolly need to replace the "skin" if the rust has eat thought the metal..
try to sand it down and see how thick is the rust.

depending upon how bad it is you can

Bondo it

cut it out and weld in a new peice

replace entire quarter panel (most expensive and best looking option)

Ummm... forgive me but where is break in the frame?... it doesn't come off like the fender?!

 

here is what it looks like



#3 is what you are looking for The other side is the same minus the gas filling location

edit 5th gen car shown in example other gens would be similar

 

in the 4th gen the panel has no break between doors. the piece continues to the down to the mirror

 

I posted something about this. The reason the rust happens is because honda used to use a rubber strip along both rear quarterpanels. In 2001 and above hondas the strips have been removed. All you have to do it pull the rubber strips off, and spray some motor oil on the area. If it hasnt started rusting it won't but if it has started rusting this will still help.

Wow... that's a "big" quarter panel (4th gen is bigger!!)... did u get that from a shop manual? I really need to pick one up for my car... thx!

 

hondaautomotiveparts.com about $480 I think just for that part

 

It show's here that the rear quarter panel is 1 piece, but when i look at my car i don't see any breaks at all in the panel body, does this jus show the pieces where they WELD it 2gether to become a frame?... I'm sure u can't jus buy the panel and bolt it on, can u?!

If anyone knows this, plz explain... aparently the panel cost $391 per side for the rear... jus the rear piece... the front panel is more $$...

I'm refering to the panel #4 or #8 (4 is right and 8 is left, jus for buying reference).
