Auto body repair & detailing - rust behind both top hinges of 93 cadillac


Expert: Kim Smith - 6/2/2009

Question
hi kim, i hv a 1993 sedan deville that has a lg amount of rust behind the top hinges, only, of both front doors. i am being told by the local body shops that they will need to remove the door, 1/4 panel, and dash to weld and fix this problem.... i hv NO PROBLEM operating either door at this time and i am puzzled that the repair will be so extensive...any & all help would greatly be appreciated....thanks,billy

Answer
Hi Billy , The doors for sure will have to be removed.Front fenders would be questionable and I see no need to remove the entire dash to do the welding.......hope this helps you out .....always question why and have the shops explain the reasons .........Thanks.....Kim
