Default Update

We worked on doing a repair on the pass side corner of the rear glass. Someone had done a bad repair before that left the side edge bowed. It had about 1/4" of space between the stainless molding and the edge.

We took the pressure off the edge by cutting where it had been pounded/filled and patched. We noticed that the prior repair also made the window channel (where the glass rests on) very narrow - so we had to fashion a way of returning it to full width.

By taking a donor piece from a scrap C-pillar, we cut away the narrow channel and slipped the donor piece below outside C-pillar's sheet metal. Then spot weld holes were drilled and it was welded in place.

Will provide final pics when its completed. It hopefully will end up looking like the good one shown (B-man's car).
