1967 P220. I took the windshield out to see why it was leaking and not surprisingly the bottom edge of the opening is rusted through an a dozen places. Is there a repair panel for that area ? I poked around a little bit online but didn't see anything.
Thanks

Use care when putting different metals in contact with each other as electrolysis can occur.

When we got out first Mack fire truck, the compartments were covered with aluminum, diamond plate. A few years later some grayish spots developed - the aluminum had corroded to something the consistency of tooth paste!

Mack told us that we needed new diamond plate and to put a sheet of mylar or some similar material to isolate the two metals.

For small areas, some tough plastic from those packages that you have to cut open works pretty well.

Thanks for all the advice. I have too many projects to have this car tie up my heated garage space while I prowl the junkyards looking for a suitable donor.

What I did was make a template the matches the profile of the windshield opening so when I have time, I'll know what I'm looking for.

In the mean time I chipped out all the loose rust and wire brushed the opening. After treating it with rust remover and the phosphoric acid stuff, I fished a piece of 14 gauge wire inside the cowl, secured it with short soft wires and bondo-ed it in place. A few coats of bondo smoothed out the rough spots. After a coat of rust-oleum it looks pretty good. I'm confident with a new gasket and a little 3M Windo-Weld it will keep the water on the outside long enough.

I'll try again tube, the auto correct keeps omitting the u UTUBE

Or better yet. YouTube! 😉

I recall seeing a video on such a repair. And one from Wheeler Dealers, might have been an Amazon, or an 1800.

Try tube - there might be a similar repair that you could learn from.

A section cut from any junk car may have the shape you need - look at rear window frames as well.

I meant tube - DOH!

Unless you can find a decent section from a parts car 120/220 you will have to weld in suitable sections to fix the problem. A common repair. Tedious and time consuming but not desperately difficult. Dash removed of course. A shrinker/stretcher tool is good to have.
