Quarter Glass
The Quarter Glass is a type of window found in the vehicle’s rear. It usually comes in pairs, with one on each side of the vehicle. It’s adjacent to the rear passenger windows and offers a clear view of what’s happening outside. Most quarter glasses are triangle-shaped, which is a common style for modern vehicles. Some quarter glasses are made of regular glass, while most are made of tempered glass.

Quarter Panel
A quarter panel is a body panel that sits between the rear door and the trunk or truck bed, depending on the type of vehicle. It’s fitted above the wheel, causing it to accumulate debris marks and dust after some time.
Aside from completing a vehicle’s overall style, a quarter panel also provides structural support to the chassis. It also prevents dirt and debris from forming in the rear undercarriage of a vehicle.

Quarter panel extensions are a body panel that sits at the corner of a vehicle’s rear. These body panels are made from sheet metal or fiberglass-reinforced plastic.

Quarter Panel Extension Seal
The quarter panel extension seal is a rubber weatherstrip installed between the quarter panel and the extension that prevents cracking in the paint in the spit line between the two panels. You might have to replace the seal if it shows signs of degradation that prevent it from protecting the paint in the split line. You can find the quarter panel extension seal on the edge of the quarter panel extension, and it is easy to remove and replace.

Quarter Panel Molding
The Quarter Panel Molding is a molding used to conceal the edge of your vehicle’s quarter panel, which can be found between your rear door and the trunk or bed. Quarter panels tend to wear over time due to their constant exposure to dirt and debris, so you might need to replace them and their moldings every now and then. Vehicles have separate quarter panel moldings, one for the driver and one for the passenger side.
