Here was the way the C pillar on my car looked when I bought it:

Now, here is what it looks like as of now:

The crack that has appeared since paint looks pretty much like the original one.� The guys that did the body work fixed the area with body filler.� Is this one of those areas that needs lead melted in it because of stress or some other issue?� The other side of the car is doing the same thing.� Anyone got any info?�

I have two cracks that have appeared since I did my car 7-8 years ago.One is right where yours is but only maybe an inch long and the other is at the quarter/roof seam.Two causes for mine-the one located in the same spot as yours had a weld repair from a prior accident,the one at the seam was caused by too many 3000rpm launches at the dragway with no frame connectors!

There is a lot of stress in those areas so grind out all the mud and weld it as solid as you can.

it should be welded & plated inside to prevent it recracking , filler will not help as you found out
