Re: header panel

Only if you see holes.It rusts from the back side.They are usually behind the visor or below.

Re: header panel

take down the sunvisor and where the holes are put one of your fingers in the hole than you will know if you have rust up there

Re: header panel

It`ll look like rust coming through a rocker,door,or cab corner only it will be in the header panel.
