Reply to "Rocker Panel Rust"

quote:
When we cut it out we found that there were no weep holes in the bottom of the front door pillar and it had filled with fine dust to a depth of 3". This dust served as a moisture trap. We cut out the rusted metal and made sure there were large weep holes at the bottom of the repaired pillar.

This was a known problem and it was common practice to drill drain holes in the rockers under the pillars deep enough so that they would also leave a hole in the bottoms of the pillars.

If there is rust in the floorboards, as well, I'm guessing that there is rust in the lower rear wheel well bracing and in the engine compartment next to the ZF. Need to look there too.

Caveat emptor.

What are the local papers saying about the future of Rex Grossman?
