What Is the Header Panel in a Car?

Video Transcript

"Good afternoon, my name's Tom Brintzenhofe, certified master mechanic, out of Redding, PA, and today I'm going to ask the question is what is a header panel? Now, it's just; kind of broaden it around. If you think about it a little bit the head's always in the top, in the front. It's it's real simple; your head header panel consists of the nose of the vehicle; whether it's this whole piece right here, it's your your headlight, your grill assembly, or some of the cars they don't have these. They have a a big front cover, a a a Fisker as if you will; that's what they call them. But that's basically, your header pin'll go from one side to the other, whether it's one piece or you have a grill in the center, or or whatnot. It's just your whole piece comin' across here all the way down to your bumper, but not including your bumper. It it's only from here on up. A lot of times the the lower cover, from here down to here is one piece and everything up here is all one piece. But, it's basically from here all the way across to here, all the way through your center. And that's about as simple as I can tell you of what is a header panel."
