If you’ve noticed bubbling paint or rust creeping in behind the rear door of your Ford XD, XE or XF Falcon, Fairmont or Fairlane, chances are the dogleg area is to blame. Positioned between the rear door opening and the rear wheel arch, this curved section of the quarter panel is a known rust trap. Designed to suit the Right-Hand (Driver's side), this Dogleg Repair Section provides a practical way to remove corrosion and restore the original body shape without replacing the entire quarter panel.
Rear Quarter Panel Front Section: Specifically made for the RH dogleg area, located between the rear door opening and rear wheel arch.
Targeted Rust Repair Solution: Replaces the metal section directly— an area prone to moisture retention, dirt and debris build-up, road salt exposure, and rust perforation.
High-Quality Mild Steel Construction: Manufactured using quality mild steel to replicate traditional factory materials, ensuring compatibility for welding and finishing.
Protective Coating: Supplied with a temporary anti-rust primer or storage coating to reduce surface corrosion during transport and storage. Note: Coating must be sanded or properly prepared before welding and final paint application.
Professional Installation Ready: As a reproduction panel, it serves as a starting template. Minor trimming, edge-beating, shaping and alignment adjustments may be required during fitting to achieve factory-style gaps and body lines.
When rust starts to take hold in the dogleg area, early and proper repair makes all the difference. This Dogleg Repair Section offers a straightforward and reliable way to restore clean lines and structural integrity to the rear quarter of your Ford.
