Re: It’s Just A Pickup

Squaring away the front window corners.

The four corners of the front window seem to be an area where rust definitely can be found on most of our trucks. I don’t know if it’s the window seal is trapping the water or gap seam sealer failure in the drip rail area that causes the rust problem or a combination of both. Decided to do a fill weld in the area to replace some of the rust pitted area and not need to use any gap sealer in the area. It defiantly took some time to do this, a day and a half work for the two corners shown below. Also filled the antenna cable hole that I will not be needing.

Don’t know if this is going to solve the problem in the future but it should slow it down from coming back at least.

I’m planning on using a two part seam sealer in the drip rail area and this area of the truck should be good for another 30 plus years

I’m glad to be back working on the truck after the short delay. Have a nice day and a better one tomorrow.
