Title: Body Work Repair
Post by: InsightMusic on 05 May 2016, 12:22

Hi everyone,

The rear passengers side arch is not looking too great on my Golf.. The plastic trim can longer sit in place because the arch has decayed quite a bit.

On my previous VW I had a gaping hole near the arch which I did a pretty neat job of repairing using filler, chicken wire and a fresh re-spray, but this issue is inside the arch.

Any advice on how to tackle this?

Thanks,

Get the trim off to have a proper look. Repair sections are easy to get hold of. Unless you are very confident with a welder, leave it to the pros. Trust me, it's not worth the hassle doing it yourself  :whistle:

Then it will need painting of course, although finish doesn't matter too much as the trim will cover it.
