for bonding the panel i used 3m epoxy glue 08115 , it is available in most small store and supplier and the quality is very good . there is other that i use , devcon or sci grip but is more expensive and not available to everybody .
dont forget since some place will be barre metal after preparation to coat any place that will not receive glue , it will rust and cause later problem .
you will need to reuse the lacht bracket . remove it from the metal panel by drilling the spot weld and bond it with epoxy on the new panel . when bonding be sure you keep the ajustment play of the nuts .
there nothing particular in order to bond the panel . the panel align itself , just double check the door gap and respect the over lap bond on C and D pillar .

in order to replace the quarter panel you will need to remove
rear bumper
side skirt
wheel guard
tail light , plastic cover , seal , disconnect gate shock .
inner trunk carpet , inner side cover .
rear sill door , rubber trim .
exterior trim window guard and removal of the rear quarter glass .
most difficult is to remove the rear glass . the glass is made with exterior trim as one piece . you need to acces by inside to cut the seal and is very far inside . also plastic pin for install are there and will be cut same time as the seal .

this thread is for information on installation of the legacy wagon quarter panel composite extended .
so why wider fenders ? the look is definitely attractive in most case but this idea was guided by functionality.
my car is not a garage queen , so it need to perform , in all weather and on some horrible roads .
but we all can say this is an equation of desired stance , wheels availability and functionality.
to understand correctly , the rear fender are wider in the rear as oem spec , so i extended fender to be equal front to rear. the front was extended 30 mm and the rear 20 mm .
so 20 mm to rear dont seem a lot but it is . with the composite panel you saving the roll edge so you can be flush with the panel .
