So once again I find myself going where the sun don't shine.
Eventually, I plan to post the receipt from where the body shop charged the interim owner for "replacing quarter panel"...but that's fun for another day. Here's my question: Am I correct that, from the factory, the little void in the point at the rear of the quarter panel (above the tail light) is left empty--or full of spray foam--and that there's a very large glob of seam sealer supposedly preventing tire-slung moisture from finding the foam? I had to open mine up all the way and I'm toying with actually welding in a custom baffle in front of that pointed tip so that I could seal it up tight from the front side of the baffle. I would do this as part of the process when I fit in the new fender section. What I want to do is make sure moisture can't get into that rear point and fester. Anybody who's reworked the rearmost part of the fender/light socket, what have you done??? |

Hey Andy, in your last pic, did you spray the Eastwood ('green stuff') into the longs and then cut them open to do some patch work afterwards? ... and was it wet or dry when you took the pic ?
