Thanks Bigdav160. Would be great not to have to replace the entire roof. I have a feeling most of the roof is in good condition. But, as you can see in a few of the photos, there is definitely some rust that has migrated into the very front portion of the roof. I could sand it down and treat it with something, but my guess it that it would come back. I was thinking that cutting and welding several small spots on that curved surface might actually be more work than just cutting the entire top off and replacing. But maybe that is not true. Have you ever done a roof repair? If so, I would like to hear about your experience. Thanks.
