Well... Soon. I had the startings of lower door rot. Had it fixed last year hoping to get a couple more years out of them. Might have if not for last week when my 9 year old son closed the passenger side door on something metal that had fallen off the seat and was half hanging out of the door sill. I now have a 2" pucker in the lower door edge and the force completely split the lower seam open about 14 inches. I'll probably driveway fix it for the winter but will be looking for a replacement now.... Stinks.

 

How did you have it repaired out of curiosity?

 

Oh the JOYS of parenthood.
The days go slow..... but the years go fast!

 

He took it down to bare metal (I had no perforation at the time), treated, filled, and finished. But the damage was already starting inside. He said that there is little short of chemotherapy that will stop it in the long term.

 

If wasn't so far could supply door. Lots of freight from Kentucky to Maine. Have right front door from 2000 2500 QC that has been professionally repaired and sealed. Just add paint.

 

Thanks for the thought. Was actually just in NC last week, albeit on the OBX....

 

I don't want to hyjack the thread, but are after market doors available? and if so from who? I have a big rust problem my self on both doors, I am deciding on weather to do the lower panels or whole door?
