Your Nissan Rear Body Panel (Rear, Upper) covers the vehicle frame, protecting it from the elements and small debris. In most cases, it’s installed between the quarter panel and your Nissan’s rear bumper. Multiple body panels fit perfectly in place to give your Nissan its signature, polished aesthetic. Also, body panels provide your Nissan frame a line of defense in the event of a collision.

They're sturdy and strong but won't last forever or stand up to major impacts. Body panels can rust, become loose due to corrosion, or bend and dent with regular wear and tear. Replacing a damaged body panel, whether it's a Rear Body Panel (Rear, Upper) or located elsewhere on the vehicle, can refresh your Nissan and bring it back to its original look and feel.

With some technical skills and the right tools, you can install a new Nissan body panel at home. The steps include removing the old panel by safely taking off the skirting, unscrewing the attached bolts and nuts, and cleanly removing the current panel from the frame. Then, you'll install the new panel, tighten the nuts and bolts that attach the panel, and replace the skirting underneath the vehicle.

If you’re not sure how to proceed, we recommend visiting the nearest authorized Nissan dealer and service center. Also, authentic parts and accessories purchased directly from Nissan come with a 12-month/12,000 mile warranty (whichever comes first) when installed by an authorized dealer upon purchase.
