sliding door - rusty hole in side panel

Post by acw »

topic says it all.
took the covers off to tart them up and found this horror.

had a look at the mallywagon thread and it looked easy to fix but is it?
can you buy a replacement door rail?
can you get at the back of it from the inside?

Thanks for any advice

I could do with one of them mick. :wink:

also check your window rubbers as when they leak the water sits on top of the panel on the inside rusting it through.
MM can help you with the window rubbers to whislt your at it
