I don't know if you noticed in my thread, but I had a similar problem with my roof and the tin-canning effect....Funny thing, but I never noticed until I thought that I had it ALL fixed, that the driver's side rear roof & drip-rail were pushed down about 3/8" from the opposite side.
Needless to say, total re-work with a sledge-hammer, and a body contoured 2"X12" placed strategically under the rear ledge of the roof fixed that, and also took care of all of the plastic work that I had labored so hard on!!!

Oh, and I would like to make a correction to your post that shows the door-jamb work:
GM had plenty of spot-welds, but on my cab, the only sign of seam sealer was in the rain-gutter.
I must have spent $200 on epoxy seam sealer doing the door-jambs, doors, rain-gutter, cowl & firewall.
As far as spot-welds go, the dash on the passenger-side had a boat-load of attempted welds along the lower windshield, & cowl that never took!
The dash & glovebox must have rattled like hell!!!! LOL!
Probably one of the reasons that mine is so rust free, nobody could stand to drive it!!!
All of that is fixed now!

Thanks brutha, yeah that roof was no walk in the park.....lol. I did notice that in your thread, I spent about two hours reading through your whole thread the other day. Sick build by the way!!!!!! Our fix was about a million studs and a ton of pullin, but its worked out now. I just assumed about the seam sealer because mine had it all in the jams and all over the floor before I had it blasted. Someone before me must have thought it needed it.
