Dunno about the rain gutter on the roof.

For the ute hook ridge once you grind it down, I think you have to smooth it out with some body filler.

Here's mine. It was already done like this when I purchased the ute.
Open in new window

Check my build thread, there are some good pics of my rain rails getting removed... As for the hook ridge once off it will need to be joined somehow again as it is two separate panel inner and outer! Good luck

armiee you know how the girls say, no beauty without pain lol, so your saying i should make sure i wear a waterproof hoodie when driving lol

Mradtree23 - will do- yeah i was thinking that i might be lucky enough to be able to use some magnets to hold it together while i put a few tak welds on...

Thinking i might need to start a build thread...

Make sure you get in from behind and rust proof it properly... when you weld the front it will blast everything off the back and will rust like the titanic
