Just to clarify, the rocker panel was not damaged in the accident, or any of the structure under or around the door. The rocker just has a lot of rust (the typical jackport meltdown) that has gotten worse over the years and I'd really like to address at some time. The adjuster said the rust wouldn't affect the repair since it doesn't extend to the door's frame. So it isn't related to the accident or current repair, just something to keep in mind in the future. For now I just want my baby back to where it was before last week.
