Trim holes

I will be filling the trim holes in tomorrow morning, gooing to try a few different things until I absolutley have to get a welder. Ill post pictures of everything as soon as I get the camera back from my wife. Let me know if anyone has done anything to fill trim holes with anything other than a welder. Thanks.

Re: Trim holes

Tap the hole.

Glue a Stainless screw in the hole a few threads, let dry.

cut the head off and grind it down.


I did that when I removed the drip rail on my '86...


I am assuming the holes are fairly small and round.

X2...the only sure way is weld them closed. It does help if you back them up with a copper spoon....less heat so all you need to do to finish is grind the fill flush.

I've used jb weld on a few small holes, but mine will be hidden by the windshield gasket.
