The rocker panel molding runs along the lower side of the body beneath the doors, and retainers like this one help hold it against the panel. A retainer can break or go missing, for example when the molding is removed. The molding may then loosen, rattle, sag or pull away from the body. If a damaged or missing retainer is the cause, this Dorman part replaces it so the molding can be fastened back in position.
