This is the 1/4 panel that is being replaced behind the sliding door. After the filler was removed previously a few rot spots appeared just behind the 1/4 panel. These need to be repaired before the new panel goes on.
As you can see the hole that needs reairing
And repaired
1/4 panel trial fitted first time round. It was a little long so the rearmost edge needed shrinking a bit to take up the excess. Jim tried the slider on for a test and it didn't really sit quite square
The inner of the new panel gets cleaned to bare steel then a healthy dose of weld through primer to protect it
The reason the slider doesn't fit straight. The main roller has at some point split and somebody has bodged it so it works but not right. 27 years of history
1/4 panel fitted and looking good. Just finish the inner arch repairs now
