Personally I like to use a flanging tool to make the hole I cut out flanged. Then punch holes in the patch. Do a bunch of rosette welds. Seam seal and call it a day. Opinions will vary. But when it’s common practice to overlap/knock down the weld/add filler on exterior panels……why would you want to go nuts with something you are going to put carpet over anyway.
Warning hijack in progress!

What is your preferred flanging tool?
