Rear tailgate seal channel corrosion

Post by mshaw1980 »

Hello

So part of my rear tailgate seal channel,is crunchy with rust (hating rust now) and just wondered if anyone had any bright ideas how to tackle this as it is an awkward shape?

Thanks everyone, you are all great :ok

Pretty sure that no repair panels are available so you'll have to fabricate it yourself or have one made up for you and weld it in.
