As the largest automaker in Japan and rank second, after surpassing its rival
Ford Motors, throughout the world, Toyota has been one of the most formidable
companies to beat. Started in 1936 with their production of their first vehicle,
the model AA passenger car, Toyota has quickly gained popularity in Japan. To
gain this, Toyota entered several countries and established manufacturing or assembly
plants in Australia, South Africa, Turkey, Brazil, Unites States, United Kingdom,
Indonesia, Poland, Canada, and France. With several models on the line like the
top selling Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry, the company has achieved a marvelous
feat in foreign markets.
With great vehicles come great features and parts. The features make every Toyota
beautiful inside and out while parts compliment the appearance of every Toyota
in every view. These also contribute to the safety of passengers on board, especially
during impact. The whole body panel is not just a piece of big sheet metal that
makes a Toyota looks like one. The body panel is composed of several portions
that are very essential. One of these is the quarter panel.
Quarter panel is composed of the body skin, or sheet metal that is usually located
at the front and rear side of the vehicle. The front quarter panel runs from the
front corner of the hood to the front of the door while the rear quarter panel
runs from the rearmost part of the rear door edge, around the back and to the
rear door on the other side of the car. Most Toyota models have rear quarter panels
that run all the way to the roof. On the case of accident or impact, the quarter
panel absorbs most of the pressure so as to protect the interior. The essentiality
of the front and rear quarter panel can be seen during these cases.
