Paint Finish Concerns (Dulling/Scuffing)/Dirt Impingement at Front Edge of Rear Quarter Panel (Install Rubber Bumper)

Some customers may comment on the paint finish at the front edge of the rear quarter panel, just behind the rear edge of the door on the left or the right side of the vehicle.

Road debris may be dulling or scuffing the paint finish in this area.

Install a new rubber bumper.

Open the door and remove the lowest quarter panel screw. Insert the screw through the bumper and install the screw into the panel.

Tighten
Tighten the screw to 2 N·m (18 lb in).

This will place the door flush with the quarter panel and eliminate damage to the paint.
