Sorry for the crappy pics. Shot 'em fast for the sake of the question.
A member here (thanks Doug!) hooked me up with some good vent tubes/door handle recesses to replace the rotten ones in my car.  I'm cleaning them up and removing the sealer, etc. How are the oval ends of the tubes fastened to the inner ply? It appears there's an oval inside an oval (2 plys) if that makes sense. Are they spot welded together? Brazed? Friction fit?  I'm trying to get the oval end of the tube out of the inner skin while keeping the round end attached to the jamb end. |

I just took the tube out of my car. Here's the donor part. The round end is brazed.
 The oval end you can see a gap in the weld the 2 layers.  ground them down then used a rather blunt #3 flat full tang screw driver and a hammer.  Where it resisted, I ground more, it came out without much struggle.  I'm going to wait to do the donor and fit it up along with the fender. Seems easiest to replace that whole corner with the door handle inlet and all rather than just the tube. |
