Abstract
A bracket for a rocker panel assembly includes a first flange and a second flange. The second flange is at an end of a body opposite the first flange and extends parallel to the first flange. The first and second flanges each define a plurality of apertures being dimensioned and configured to control flow of an E-coat fluid injected therein to provide a seal between the first and second flanges to inhibit oxidation in an absence of a seal around a periphery of the first and second flanges.
