Re: My attempt at inner roof rust repair
The fitment was pretty good on this piece for me, but then again i didnt use very much of it. It definitely took some patience to get it to sit right up in the corner where it meets the top of the door jamb. I found it best to cut the corner piece off, and fit that in separately from the rest of it, hence the seam in the right hand patch. I could get the corner to fit nice, then the left side wouldnt fit great, then get the left to sit nice, and the corner was screwed up. And so on. So finally i just cut it and it really worked out well. Also, i wouldnt go crazy worrying about the lower seam, since the windshield rubber will hide most of that. Ill be ordering up some body filler and other stuff tomorrow through my shop at work, and hoping to make it look like it was never touched.... (Hopefully).
I got my piece from LMC a while back, but that was before i was privy to giving my business to board vendors. GMCPauls and any other place that sells patch panels will have it, i recommend going through one of them. Mine was made by KeyParts (triPlus); not sure how many suppliers are making them.
