Have COE, wish to repair roof damaged from light holes and the rain gutter area or really above the gutter is swiss cheese both sides. I had another roof, which I cut the center and two sides out of, but one side is not too good on it either. These are just the single tin top, not the gutter and all on those parts.
First, how do you get old gutter seal out? I ground with stone in 4-1/2" grinder on the extra roof, and some just fell out where rust was. Wish to do cleaner job on the truck. I was told hammer and chisel or srcrewdrive was about it.
I'm thinking of pop riveting in my patches and maybe wire welding some, then filling. I might need to make tiny 90* bend strip to fint down in gutter to start, then put patches to it.
Anyone done this, and have any tips?
Also, wondering how one welds on top, and not have sparks and junk fly into interior and start it on fire. This is a tilt cab, can tilt to work on, but will still need to protect the glass and dash especially inside. What do welders do in these cases?
Not looking forward to job, but gotta get going before cold gets here.
