Can't really speak to how long your patches will last (you are in a coastal
environment, I notice), but the rocker panels are structural on the B, so in
the case of the car Carter was looking at, it wasn't a matter of patching,
it was a matter of structural replacement.

In general, I believe that plastic repairs are considered inferior mainly
because they tend to leave opportunities for rust to continue to spread, and
in some cases even accelerate it.
