Preparing a rust repair
A door skin is the outer sheet of the door, so when it rusts or is bent in a collision, the lower section often needs replacing along with the surrounding structure. Before fitting a new panel, look at the inner door frame and the hinge area for corrosion. Any rust left behind will continue under a fresh skin, so clean and treat it first.
Replacing a skin usually means removing spot welds or fasteners, so plan for welding, drilling or bonding tools. Test fit the panel against the door opening and the adjacent body panels before final attachment, and make sure the window channel and door seals line up. Sanding and priming the new steel before paint helps it resist rust over time.
- Inspect the inner door frame for corrosion
- Test fit before final attachment
- Prime bare steel before painting
