Body Part Question

[bizzs]

I have a 2003 Explorer and was wondering what the name of this body part is, and where can I purchase it for the left and right sides? This is the rear door jambs.

Thanks

Maybe "quarter panel dogleg". Call a wrecking yard, they might be able to cut them out of another vehicle. I hope you have body work experience or have someone to do it for you, then ask them. Something like this is where you need the bodyman input.

Thanks for the reply. Believe it or not, my father was a bodyman for 50 years and I worked with him while I was going to college. He called it a dog leg too, but I cannot find the metal on the internet.

Anyone have ideas where I could find a metal patch molding for this? I understand the junk yard deal, but would like to grind off rotted metal and mig weld a molded piece that would fit and patch instead of cutting out.

Thanks
