To replace a damaged body panel, first, remove the fasteners and trim pieces securing the panel. Disconnect any electrical components, such as lights or sensors. Carefully detach the panel and align the new one. Secure it with the appropriate fasteners and reconnect electrical components. Test functionality and ensure proper fitment. For precise instructions, refer to the service manual or consult a professional technician.

Q4

What should I do if my Chrysler 200 body has alignment issues?

If your Chrysler 200 body has alignment issues, inspect for loose or damaged fasteners, worn bushings, or bent components. Tighten or replace as needed. Check the suspension and frame for damage, as these can affect body alignment. Use a professional alignment tool or consult a technician to ensure proper adjustment. Misaligned panels can lead to wind noise, water leaks, or uneven wear.
