Hi all,

I noticed my passenger side mud flap sagging and decided to investigate. A few moments later I had the mud flap removed and in my hand. It looks like some time ago, there was a rust issue in the spare tire well and some one patched it with fiberglass on the inside and used some epoxy or some other compound to glue the mud flap back on. This was all underneath black paint, which is why it went unnoticed until now.

Now i have a golf ball-sized hole in my passenger spare tire well.

Driving on the salty roads of Utah I know this and other minor rust spots will need attention soon.

Has anyone had luck with body shops fixing minor issues like these? I wouldn't feel confident welding metal that thin, probably why they used fiber glass to fix it. Perhaps I would be better off repairing and painting the whole thing instead of doing small areas at a time.

I've looked at Scandcar's website which has a bunch of body panels. Anyone had any luck with them?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
