A pillar problem
Hi all,
I have an a pillar problem, being that I need a new drivers side base where it meets the heater channels.
Are they even made and fairly easy to install?
Thanks

You mean its rusted out?
First off i'd hit it with the wire brush either on the grinder or the drill then post a photo to see how much you actually need to replace.
I've replaced both lower A pillars on mine and its not the easiest of jobs 
Cheers

well if I remove the bog in it the a pillar would have about a 3.5 inch gap as there is no metal left, the person who did it was nice enough to clean
the edges up and rust-proof it so it is only that spot. I can't get photos yet as I broke my phone it is getting repaired so photos to come in about
2 or 3 days.
Thanks
