Rear side window frame rust help

[garry247]

Van is getting a well earned Respray but the rear left window bottom was rotten under the rubber. It looks like it was an old panel van. Where would I get a replacement part.

Looks like it has been repaired before in the past, judging by the visible welds there.
It would be a matter of seeing exactly how the previous repair was done... and then cut out all the rusty bits and weld in new pieces from a sheet of new metal.

looks more like lumps of pod than weld , thats a simple enough repair its only flat sheet, i note the usual rust under/behind the slider cover, how bad is it ? if shot then you need this

and it includes the upper swaging and you cut the very top down to suit your window aperature.

Added a few more shots on the link below. Where do I get a piece like that?

A lot of people seem to be doing it, but do you realise your sharing all your family photos with this link.
Sorry to point it out if you know.

Need to figure out how to stop that.

Thanks for the heads up.
