Hey guys, I hope this is the right spot to post this

I was wondering what to do about the rust around my front & back glass

Its not as bad as some I have seen, but I havent been able to find a patch panel for it... Does somebody make them ???

On the rear I see most people buying the piece that goes from the decklid to the window to fix the bottom rust, & for the top I see people replacing the roof panel or trimming that part off a roof panel to repair the upper rust

But what about the sides & around the windshield, is there anything other than making it from scratch and/or having to buy a roof panel ???

Thanks, Matt

Dont need patch panels, never used one....
Just fold up and cut to shape using cardboard templates...tap and weld.
The glass hast to be pulled

And remember. Rust never sleeps. Take care of the problem now or it will grow in size.

I've not seen any other way than fabbing yourself or going with the entire roof panel; of which I am doing the latter....

I think my buddy bought a relatively inexpensive brake from Harbor Freight (under $300). His has a roller on it too. He put it on a 4 wheel roll cart to make it more mobile. I've seen smaller bending brakes without the roller on their website between $35 and $150.
