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. |

We use sugarsand to remove rust from metal that we don't want to put too much texture into. Glass beads will take a lot longer to remove rust. You might try carb cleaner to get the soundeadner and sealer out. Or maybe soak in in a bucket of laquer thinner. I hate to say it but my norust 914 has a pinhole in this area, BEFORE I start digging around, I know where this usually leads.

Rust had pitted the back side above the round vent hole. Today, I held up the same piece to the light and discovered a 2nd pin hole in the recess for the door handle. It's so tiny that I haven't decided if to risk a quick buzz with the welder or simply Ospho/primer/seam sealer right over it. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) Even a tiny rust hole means the metal has gotten thin in that area. Try to add some material without burning through and grind it smooth.
