Challenger rear window filler panel
« on: October 28, 2005 - 09:14:03 AM »
My challenger has had a LOT of body work done on it before i got it.  The rear window filler panel(the one RIGHT below the rear window) has been bondo...ed...up and im unsure if from the factory there were gaps where the filler panel meets the quarter panels.  Did they fill in the gap with body filler to make it smooth or did they just smear some seam sealer in the crack and you can still see the crack after its painted?  Wierd question if I can ill snap some pictures to make some more sense out of it.

Stacked, they did have filler between the panels, but you should still be able to see a uniform seam. (provided you want it to look correct.)

Here's a pic I found of mine to show you exactly what it looks like from the factory. (just fresh primer over it all.)
