to bondo, or NOT to bondo

I'm prepping for paint. Any issues with bondo in the roof crease above the back window that runs from door to door? Looking for a smoother look, but if that is a major flex point, I didn't want to be chasing cracks six months down the road.

Re: to bondo, or NOT to bondo

the best thing there is constrution adhesive and also in the gutter around the top , it will harden but not so hard that it will crack , bondo won't hold without cracking , if you are trying to get rid of seam like it is not there then welding it up solid is the only way to get it to hold ,,,

I agree with welding only if you want it to last. Weld it up in small steps and start filling it to shape!
