    What do i do with the door jamb?
    « on: October 28, 2009 - 09:06:40 PM »
    I don't know what approach to take with the edge of the rear quarter to the door jamb. Should you use filler or seam sealer?

    I agree because there is more flex there than you would think.   :2thumbs:

    Thankyou guys. I was really sweating it there for a bit thinking i was going to have to use filler.
    What about the spot welds? just leave them or put a bit of filler over them?
