How To Repair Hole In Roof Of Car
- #1
I drive a 1984 Toyota Land Cruiser, and information technology'south a beater. It smokes when you drive it, sometimes the E-restriction slips out causing the machine to smash into your neighbor'south gate, but the first affair that needs to be fixed is the roof. It's been sitting in the driveway for a year considering of it, and at present it seriously needs assist. Rust has worn the roof down so much that at that place are a series of rusted slits in it. I'm thinking about fiberglassing it, merely I was wondering if at that place was whatsoever other mode to do it before I beginning. Call up, since this machine is a piece of crap already, and the repairs are for function not beauty.

Har har har. I encounter what you lot did thar.
Anyhow, I think what tlither suggested might not be a bad idea. But if y'all don't have admission to a welder, I would simply fiberglass it. I mean, that'south what they use to prepare automobile body holes anyway right?
Best of luck,

Unfortunately, I do not take pics. My dad and I covered it with plastic and record for the fourth dimension beingness until we could figure out a way to ready it. I exercise have access to a welder I think. I'll see if that can straighten it out...
In the meantime, delight don't stop posting your suggestions.

Already done that. 'Cept with plastic sheets and packing tape.
rvb4life: I live in a foreign country and exercise non speak the language well enough to get a job. Hence, no money. Hence, no new machine.
Besides, New car + blue eyes and white skin + greedy people in a third-world country = Me being mugged, robbed, carjacked, or kidnapped. I'g not sure I want to exist a target for any of those things. If you practice, exist my invitee and bask.

Go to the hardware shop, buy a sheet of steel that covers over it, go some epoxy and glue the slice onto the already sanded area.
Silicon caulk it to brand sure wayer doesnt leak in, and bondo over it.

Keep the holes and so! Blame mobs and gansters for shooting your car and throwing grenades at y'all every bit y'all fight off a bear trying to maul you in your car whilst driving down a highway dodging traffic and civilians while shooting out the window with an MP5 trying to fend off the deadly Ninjas that are trying to steal the chest full of gold you stole from a burly group of mortiferous pirates earlier with Chuck Norris.

Or that it was rusted.

What your going to have to practice is showtime sand the rust off as much as possible. And then your going to have to cutting out the area where its rusted through. Weld sheet metal in place of it so grind the welds to make them every bit smooth as possible then bond over that to requite it a smoother feel. If the rust is not that bad we sell (autozone) something in the paint section that converts rust into primer ( or something like that). I think its in a chocolate-brown spray can.

New thought. Sun roof opportunity.
Become a canvas of articulate plastic at lowes for 10-15 dollars, and lots of silicon and so water doesnt leak in.

Frost - I didn't think of that! Bang-up idea. Don't think Friendly has a Lowes nearby but plexiglass for a sunroof is smashing. Become a couple tubes of silicone and you lot're set.

Don't have a Lowes, but we accept something like it. I like the idea, but I don't remember I'm going to employ it seeing that the roof is correct underneath the luggage rack. Smashing idea, though.
