- Hey Everyone! Today i install a product i really love on this nee F150 i just bought. They are called QuickCovers by OAM Manufacturing. These rockers and cab corners are slip on style. Cut out the rust as you would on a slip on metal rocker and slide these over. They go on, look great and fit great. You are the only one that will ever know they are on there because they fit so perfect. Hope you enjoy the video and this helps. Josh

Just received my quick cover n watching few videos to get n idea how to best do the job n u by far blew everyone out of the water your do it wright the first time attitude your attention to detail n explanation was on point thank for great video because of it I feel very confident that I can perform this same task cause like I always say if your not going to do it right don't do the job at all.
Hey thank you very much Emilio.
Looks very nice, well done and thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Great video! Thanks for making it. I have a 2014 F-150 that has cab corners that went the way of the DoDo Bird.
Glad I found this - These would also be great to use after you have all the metal replaced with metal corners/sills to act as a great gravel guard.
They 100% would be. Be excellent.
Great utube video!saw another install on this product, yours was more thorough, you sold me on the product!, thanks from the states.
This was a big help for me getting mine on. Thanks!
awesome video sir. cant wait to finally put wine on as the weather is getting nicer
This is the best oam install video I've seen. I hope they pay you for it
Excellent. You took your time and did it right.
These are perfectly fine, I put something similar on my Silverado 2 years ago. It just makes it look so much nicer than a rusting pile of poop that leaves bits behind every time you close the door.
Well done. Looking forward to installing a set on my Silverado. Only difference on my set is the rocker and cab corner is all in one piece.
Hey! Thank you. Yes the older Silverado’s i like the fit and finish of them way better than these. They look great on them.
Great Video! Nice work getting that problem solved I have a 2007 lincoln navigator with same issues, they don't have these kits for them seems like a good fix
Because there are hardly any navigators produced.
Awesome job. Thanks for sharing
Dude! That is awesome!
I got the '13 FX4, white as well, 275000km and the rust on white looks terrible. These look great, give me another 5 years. Ontario weather and the tonnes of salt sucks. Thanks for the video
You got it.
I’m still super happy with them and the truck looks new still. I’m over 400K now and still running strong👍🏻
Nice job!
Thanks I have a 2011 crewcab it's not bad with minimum rust or body damage but I think if I do this now would help me prolongation truck appearance and value. It has 137000 original miles 1 owner. I'm the 2nd owner. Very nice, so I want to keep it nice rust free as much as possible. Thank you for the video and name of the product.
Great thorough video but you nailed it earlier in the video about rambling on. Way yoo much rambling especially at first we dint need but once you got started it was great. Good job. Not trying yo criticize just being honest. The video was really good. Thank you.
Great job.
Quick covers by OaM
Good Job !
Looking to do this on mine. Definitely better than $2700 repair for something that won't be on the road that much longer. Thanks for the video!
You got that right. Even the trucks that are well kept and everything seem to all have the rocker issues and cab corner issues. Doesn’t mean the truck is a rust bucket, my frame still has nice black paint on it….. just a cheap option that fits and works great
You fix the 3rd brake light? That's where the issue is from
Hey… nope it doesn’t leak. I had been told that as well.
@@Schneids15 I gotta do something like this to my truck soon
@@FIRENICEWOLF if you don’t want it to be a show truck it’s a no brainer. For me for everyday driving this will make the truck last years and look excellent.
Great job looks good.
Bur please guys where safety glasses when doing the drilling .
Nicely Done, excellent all the way around. I guess my concerns with these would be cracking either from your feet stepping in or out, or rocks/debris from the road, then the rust problem starts again. A major concern would be how these will keep water from seeping in, especially the front door panel at the aft of the door. A seam is facing up, usually you have something over the seam so water cant get into it, with these that seam is over the original metal between the doors. I dont see how the adhesive holds up, especially in areas with winters and freezing. #M makes great stuff but I cant see this holding up to heat, cold, freezing, flexing and such. Same for the bottom underneath where you put rivets. I dont see how this can be water proof. The plastic to old rustic metal frame is not perfect mating surfaces and adhesive being just a thin glue is not a filler. No disrespect to your excellent job and tutorial, I'd just be worried about water getting in in a year or possibly less. Perhaps theres is some sort of filler/bonding agent that can be put between t \he panels and the body? Great video thought, thanks.
I'm impressed with plastic rockers.. that being said, I'd panel bond them instead of two sided tape.. panel bond is a way better way to go... the tape just seems hokey
very nice👍👍👍👍
Hi, how are you I was watching the video and the work was excellent thank you very much for the video, I have a question on which place did you buy the parts, I have a Ford f150 2009 if you can help me please thank you.
Looking at some 09-14 F150 SuperCabs from rusty places like Kansas and Nebraska and Missouri and they all have that rocker panel rust...but they're cheap...and I'm cheap...and THESE are cheap compared to say LMC metal ones...definitely gonna look into this option if I bring one of them back to Oklahoma, since it probably won't rust MORE once it's down here in the red dirt.
Thanks. My truck only has rust on the driver side cab corner as far as I can tell.
How did you get the rust between the outer and inner rocker panels where it folds together? Where 2 of the bolts for your running boards go. I'm about to do this and it looks like there is significant rust on those two edges and I'm concerned about not having any material to rivet the quick covers to.
I wonder if you could spray a rust converter up in and all around the area after cutting it out and pressure washing? Then, let dry again, and apply rust bullet or similar product. Then apply grease like in this video. Then glue on the covers? Thx
turned out nice. definitely a good option to get more life out of a truck.
You got that right. The thing is the truck isn’t very old yet. However these things rot out sometimes in like 3-4 years. It’s not a show truck so it don’t have to be perfect. For the price and fit and finish they are great.
@@Schneids15 if people would only fluid film when new.
I would put some clear silicone on the cracks where the rocker meets cab but question fluid film isn't always gana last so isn't the parts you left uncut gana rust how long is this really gana last
My 06' has rust starting at the rockers near the bottom of thr tore wells. I would prefer to cut and weld but maybe cutting out the Rust, mitigating it with inhibitors and doing the plastic over it would be best. I just don't know if they'd have all of what i need
Looking to do this to my truck I just bought wonder if it would pass safety inspection
Exceptional lesson. Perfect for my situation. Do you think the plastic will crack or get a hole from road debris hitting in the areas where the metal was cut out behind?
I have these and the plastic is made really well. It would take a very hard hit to break these panels. Really well made for the money. I just wish they sold them in colors and i wish they sold the rear truck bed corners.
What causes the cab corners and rockers to rust out is cargo light gasket leaks. The corners of the gasket tare when they are installed. The water runs down the pinch weld above the back window and puddles in the cab corners and rockers. Just remove the cargo light and put a 1/4 inch foam seal on the roof side and it will stop the water intrusion. 😅
I have heard that. As well as sunroof drains go straight to cab corners. I never got any water intrusion up there though. I did reseal it and check, this was just harsh canadian winters….
That's a shame it's already rusting being not that old. I've noticed on my 2012 it has spot's under the bottom lip on the edge of the cab where mud can build up. On mine I get under and pressure wash it really good every couple months, then I spray used oil in those area's. It's a dirty job but so far I don't have rust.
Thanks for the comprehensive video!
How many cans of each spray paint did you end up using?
Hey so for the primer i think just one bottle. The paint i can’t remember honestly. I think 3 cans and 2 cans of clear.
You've had it for a year. How is it held up?
Looks good. 👍 Please put some safety glasses on when your drilling, especially laying on your back drilling over your head. 😳😳
🤦♂️
Do they make these for 2003 f150 supercab
Are those OEM fender flares? I'm looking for a set that fit good, bought a cheap set and they're crap. By the way real nice video, I already put the cab corners on now time for the rockers.
Thanks Alan. Yes factory flares. These actually have holes all through the fenders that the flare snaps into. That is why they fit so nice and tight.
I want to do this to my 09 xlt
Does anyone know how long this will last? Looking to get a about 3/4 years with out the truck rusting out completely.
No this is what need
Are these available for 2008 E250 extended ??
Glad I dont have to worry about rust on my 09, still looks new .
I have a 13 F150, and my rockers are pretty bad.
How have these held up over the last two years?
The only thing about these plastic covers, what do you do for support? I doubt it will hold up the steps
The steps hold onto the inner rocker which has lots of support. Mine were just the outers that were rotten.
Where can I find this stuff?
How has it held up since?
Does OAM still make these? Where did you get them ?
I have been told that those are not a fix for provincial safety inspection acceptance as only welded metal is acceptable, even on vehicles with a real frame. After being told that these are not an on road legal solution in Atlantic Canada, I am searching for another solution as only the under side of my rockers (inches below the doors) are rotted.
This seems odd because I have heard a lot of people getting safety’s done with them. People will fill them full of spray foam and paint them and that passes.
How well has this held up for you over the last couple years?
Where can I order them and how much
I need to order that brand but on a 2009 ford f150 xlt 4 door
Are these cheap to buy
my f-150 2014 is from Canada and the under is just wrecked as well. Rockers and drivers side corner.
Yep. Horrible design. My buddy bought one new, a very very meticulous man and he had to get his all replaced. Was washed, oiled every year and still happened.
@@Schneids15 I am debating doing this or doing the replace no weld method. I don't mind this method for cost wise but the seam kinda bothers me. Makes me wonder if water will roll into the double sided tape and loosen it up?
It could. However time will tell. If it does i’d just reglue. I’m beyond happy. A hell of a lot less work too.
@@Schneids15 ya. I agree. Thanks for the video
@@Schneids15 lol every brand pickup has this problem and the Toyotas are even worse
Best thing to stop inner rust smear a thick coat of vassaline
Use rust convert first ospho works.
Krown?
Product name please
where can i order these cover kits ?
Where did you buy your parts friend, I want some for my truck
OAM quickcovers
Not sure how he figured cutting those little strips stops the rust.
How is the plastic holding up a year later?
Absolutely awesome. No complaints at all.
I thought 2009 ford and newer rocker panel is aluminum so they not rusting out
2015+
A WHOLE lot of "cab corners rust" has been caused by a too-thing seal/gasket on the 3rd brake light.
Look for discoloration of the headliner above the rear window, or in extreme cases - mold.
Looks nice....but it will not keep yer seat from falling thru the floor.
Drive the Dodge in the winter. Keep the best truck Ford off salty roads
Any updates on these after a couple winters
Hey I should do a video. Still excellent.
Now I know where to look fer rust on trucks
I found out the corners and rockers are rusting due to the 3rd brake light seal leaking ans rain water runs down the can to the cab corners and rockers.
any updates on how these have held up so far?
Still going strong! No issues at all. I had one weather strip come loose on the bottom of the one door. I caught it and made it loose. Otherwise not one complaint. Truck looks excellent.
@@Schneids15do you think the rust got a lot worse or about the same?
@@austinhusby3870 honestly, mine was not too bad and it was just the lower rockers. I don’t think it has got much worse. However you see guys replace outer rockers “proper” and they rot out in another 5 years. Usually the inner structure is still fine. I’m still very happy and don’t think it has changed much.
I strongly recommend fix it right weld in new metal....! Don't mess around doing this! Spend the money 💰 and do it right it will last a long time on the right way of doing doing this.....
Especially for their price. $300 for 2 cab corners
Agree 100%, doing it this way you now have plastic where water will get trapped and rot out the metal that is there.
It all depends on the value of the truck. Spending $3,000-$4,000 to have metal replacements put on and painted, doesn't make a bit of sense at all on a cheap $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 truck.
There's an saying, "Don't Throw Good Money After Bad".
These are a good cheap cosmetic fix for a cheap truck.
Now, if the truck is worth $20,000 or more, I'm 💯 with you on Spending the money and welding on new metal.
I just pack my rust spots with packing grease or assembly gr,ease on my wheel well arches, and spray the fuck out of back side and outer side with NH oil or fluid film to stop it from going further, but I do agree the right way is better, this seems very bad idea, like you can seal it off with auto body panel bonding epoxy they use these days for body panels on the newer vehicles, and seal it off with auto motive caulk, or rtv, but still may not be a great idea.
My point is this doesn't sound structurally sound
Plastic will hold water. Great if your selling your truck the next day on a moon less night.
We’ll see. Yup it’s not welded in and proper. Am i ok with that? Yes. Where i drive this steel will rot out again in a few years. This is a good product. You are correct not structural and not meant to be.
Link please
Why is there no link to the product? How can you sit here and make a 35 min video and not attach a link to the website/product?
I can make this 35 Min video of me installing this product on my own truck as I wish. I am not advertising. You can google the title quick covers by OAM as stated and it will come up.
Plastic eh...one quick kick with my work boots at -30C and they will break...I say...
Hey Fred, was skeptical as well. Have kicked lot’s of ice off at cold temps from slush buildup. Never an issue and always seem flexible.
Are people really doing this??? Your rocker panels are a structural component of your vehicle. Applying this thin plastic covering does indeed "hide" all the rust and rot issues but when you take it in for your annual safety inspection the mechanic looks at the rocker panels from behind and under this plastic covering and they will see that the rocker are indeed rotted and must be replaced! I can't believe that people actually think that adding a thin plastic covering will correct the lack of structural repair required for your vehicle. Are people that gullible ???? These videos on CZcams should have to disclose this type of disclaimer.
No one thinks this. Maybe you do but everyone doing this knows it’s purely cosmetic
Agreed
My Ford dealer wanted over $6000 to get mine repaired #$%^#@#
Aren’t here plastic won they just crack
no se tu pero es una porqueria de trabajo ya que le quitas resistencia estructurala la cabina creo que quedarian mejor si primero reparas como debe ser y despues encima eso para proteccion, has una cbina con bolsas de papel o naylon y veraz
Indiana is horrible on rust
It's really JUNK
Like almost $300 worth of it huh?
