Where to Buy Replacement Rocker Panels-Frustrated!

Hello All,

I am very disappointed with Moss replacement body parts for the Rocker Panel. The nose is not long enough to fit against the hinge pillar on my BJ7!

The piece comes with a flyer that instructs you to "trim" (i.e. take material away) the nose to the proper angle, but that only makes the problem worse. If you use the indentation for the front fender as an indicator of where the door and fender should meet and align the rocker panel accordingly, the top of the rocker falls 1" short and the bottom is almost 1-3/4" short. I know that on the BJ7 & 8 the bottom of the hinge pillar sweeps forward and that perhaps earlier models did not, but to say anything about this in their flyer, and to sell it as compatible is a very poor business practice!

Now, with that rant out of the way....does anyone have a supplier for a replacement part that will fit?

Thanks for your help and advice!
 
Steve -

Do the rocker panels this guy sell have the proper comound curve on the underside of the front of the rocker, or is it just a straight line like eveyrone else?

TIA
