So I'm gunna have to cut a fair bit out and build it back up again, which I'm happy doing, just really wanted the bit the window seal sits on as I'm pretty new too welding and shaping metal to say the least! (as I'm sure you can guess by the guide rail repair :wink: )

if you just add a flat bit here then the cover for the slider track will be about 3mm away from the body and it will rattle and look a F.
