Description

Overview

The Crown Automotive 55175664AB is a steel rear corner panel for the passenger side of Jeep Wrangler LJ and TJ models. It is black primer coated, so it is a body panel that still needs finish work before it matches the vehicle.

The panel is a direct fit for the LJ and TJ generations. Minor imperfections or damage can occur in transit, and an experienced installer or body shop is the better choice for a steel body panel like this.

Key features

  • Steel rear corner panel for the passenger side
  • Black primer coated surface
  • Covers the 2004–2006 Wrangler LJ and 1997–2006 Wrangler TJ
  • Position right, location passenger side

Preparing a primed body panel

A black primer coat protects bare steel while the panel waits to be installed, but it is not a finished surface. Before the panel goes on, scuff the primer lightly where a topcoat will bond and wipe the surface clean. Check the panel’s edges and welded seams for any transit damage.

Rear corner panels sit near the wheel well, the rear quarter and the taillight area, so they see road spray and stone impact. Matching the panel’s gaps to the rear door, tailgate and bumper usually takes a few test fits. Seal and undercoat the back of the panel once it is aligned to slow corrosion from the inside.

Paint matching is easier when the adjacent panels are sanded and prepped at the same time. Ask a body shop about blending the topcoat across the rear quarter if the color on the rest of the vehicle has faded.

Questions & Answers

Is 55175664AB the passenger side or driver side corner panel?

It is the passenger side rear panel, position right. A driver side rear panel and a two-panel kit are sold under separate part numbers, so check the number before ordering.

Will this corner panel fit a 2005 Jeep Wrangler LJ?

Yes, if your vehicle is an LJ. It fits 2004–2006 Jeep Wrangler LJ models, including Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon, so a 2005 LJ falls within those years.

Does the panel come painted?

No. It is black primer coated rather than painted in a finished color. Plan paint work as a separate step after the panel is prepared and installed, and match the color to your vehicle before finishing.

Does the primer coat need to be sanded before paint?

Yes. Lightly sand the black primer to give the topcoat something to grip, then clean away the dust. Skipping this step can cause the paint to peel, especially around the edges where the panel is bolted.

Should the rear corner panel be sealed after installation?

Sealing the seams and the back of the panel helps keep water and road salt from trapping against bare metal. Use a sealer suited to steel and follow its drying time before painting over it.
