I'd been thinking about that as well, but I don't think the channel is wide enough for the nozzle of my welder to fit inside it. I'll check this out though.

Is the U channel the same as JK's J13499?

As far as I can tell from the pic on the jk website it is, although the jk channel looks like it might have something happening in the middle of it, whereas there's nowt there on the Schofields channel. I wonder why I never saw this on jk when I was looking the other week? Probably because I was looking in sill panels rather than side door parts! :roll:

A quick update, finally got this job finished today (apart from gluing the seal in place). Got a bit trigger happy with the welder as it took a little while to get the settings right.

Its all been sprayed over with zinc primer since the pics were taken.

Thanks very much for all the input with this, it's much appreciated. :ok
