Can't speak for the POR15 kit.. but IMHO this problem area there is no Quick Fix. you said the rust has not eaten through the channel and it's flaking ? I would remove the glass tape off the rest of the cowl /deck and get a spot blaster from harbor fright or Eastwood. and clean the area down to bare metal. Only then can you determine a replacement of repair. I have welded patches in small areas in the cowl windshield channel and side post B4 If in fact there is NO rust through.. Then use DTM epoxy primers and paint. if there is small holes cut out and weld in new patches. I have used POR on cast parts, suspension parts and frames but never on a exposed body panel YMMV Wayne

POR stands for Paint Over Rust. That doesn't make the problem go away. The only way to eliminate rust is to cut it out and replace it with new metal or sandblast it off. Putting some kind of coating over only prolongs what NEEDS to be done to fix it correctly.Tom RightlerMCC Newsletter Editor**************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place.
