#1 Fixing Rust on Tray Joining the Cabin
Razor Posted on: 2005/7/20 1:39
Hey
How do you fix the rust where the tray joins in the cabin.
its for a 1200 ute
the visible rust is in the cabin not out on the tray.
the join doesnt have a big hole (maybe a pin hole) but its rusting the whole way from drivers to passenger
I know you normally cut and patch a sheet of metal but this is different
anyone had done it before?
advice and tips?

I will take photo later today

how bad is it? does it need repairing? if not, remove all the loose rust, and get a good rust kill paint, and give it a good thick coat.

Mine's like that too, I'm just gonna clean it up and whack a big sheet of sound deadener along the back wall of the cab. Running a bead of weld might do the trick too.

Hey i just fixed the same problem. if i was you i would do whats dazza sed to do with the rust killer and paint over it. But for it to rust water has to be getting in fom the back i wleded a pice of 2mm angle down the backand put sikaflex over it so it cant get into it againif you dont put anythink over the holes water will rewin u interiour.
Just a thought!

My tray / cabin join was shocking...... I oxy-welded up the small spots, cut & re-plated the large spots & soaked the whole shebang a couple of times in rust convertor, then sealed up using a caulking (skin forming) compound.
