Thanks mqphoto,
I took the doors off and was finally able to take some decent photos as well. My car had no seam seal at all so this my help others understand the construction. From what I can tell the rear of the fender has a dubble wall construction that is spot welded in the channel. It may look like the spot welds connect the fender to the cowl but the fender and cowl are welded or brazed. My driver side had one weld at the rear the passenger side had three welds. What I did was put epoxy resin in the channel focusing on the weld. On top of that if the gap was big enough I put a very small bead of seam seal over the weld, top side. Some of the gaps were too small so I used a folder card to make a seal over the weld. Bottom side, I only sealed at the welds (above the horizontal seam) and the forward corner. Below the horizontal seam I sealed it all. Any water that passes thru the rubber seal will drip down my door jamb. I will seal my door stop hing opening from the back side. Attached thumbnail(s) |
