More than cosmetic damage?

[atrey]

Unfortunately, my wife backed over a curb and cracked the rocker panel trim. Do y’all think this is purely cosmetic or should I schedule service?

Looks cosmetic to me. I would still schedule service just because it looks terrible torn. Shouldn't be very expensive.

I tore mine up trying to get on a curb to let a fire truck pass. It’s $305 to have that piece replaced. 1 side only.
$270 for the part
$35 labor

Pull it down and take a look. It's probably cosmetic.

It looks cosmetic, but there is this metal tab running along the entire length that you should check out in case. You can kinda see through the gash in your pictures.

You never know until you get into it. Either way I’m sure you would want it fixed, within reason.

That said I’ve seen similar many times over the years. Should be 100% like most others have already chimed in on.

What ever happened with this ? I had similar issue.

The particular example above looks and likely was purely cosmetic.

Good to fix anyway given how much dirt, dust, sand, etc loves to build up within the rocker covers.

If however your recent example has any dents, bumps, and/or even seemingly cosmetic damage to the actual rocker and/or closer to the battery housing, then best to have it checked and likely repaired.

It was just cosmetic but I had mobile service replace it anyway. I believe it was around $200 or so to fix
