I am currently replacing the windshield cowl. I thought there was a small amount of surface rust. The windshield was broken so I removed it. I found there was a lot more rust under the windshield seal. This can be a trouble spot. Water collects under the trim and quietly rusts away. I am not trying to scare you but that is what I found. Removing the trim is a little tricky without damage but it can be done. I 'm sure you can find info on site for this. Ultimately you will need to be the judge if you are going to take this plunge and go this far. I think most will agree that welding in metal is better than fiberglass or other solutions.
Lots of luck! Mark |
