I need mine done on both sides, but can't justify having to paint both sides of the car if I get it done. Think I'll just drill mine at either end of the crack so the crack doesn't spread and then seal it from the inside so no water gets in. | |

i think the proper way of doing it is to drill a hole either side of the crack to stop it goin further, weld it up and smooth it off, then weld a plate onto the back of it | |

yeah its a stress point either the weld can crack or it can jsut move the pressure to slightly lower down, but you should be able to tell if it familiar | |

Had them sorted about 8 months ago and told him to weld them up etc. Just realised that the passenge one is cracked and rusted again. Why is it body shops are full of shit. He clearly hasnt welded it and just stuck filler on it. |
