Holes in door gable
« on: August 20, 2015, 21:02:36 »
Hi Guys!
I have some holes on my doors that I am planning to fill. I imagine that they are made for some rust proofing which I have found traces of in the door.
Just want to check that I am on right track.

Interesting, if it was for rustproofing, they did not know what they were doing. The doors are aluminum.
Did take a look at mine, nothing like that.

Your car has probably had painless dent removal. They sometimes make holes like this to gain access.

Hi,
Thanks for your comments. I agree regarding rust proofing the aluminum and I will fill the holes!
