Door rust=more problems

By Skyu_Ivy
- Wed May 02, 2007 7:53 pm #7147 Okay, the rust is located on the part of the door that goes over the window on both doors of my civic under the weather stripping. I wish i had some pictures to better explain my problem but i can't at the moment. I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem as well. I know you can buy door skins but i don't know if that part is available. Does anyone know how to fix it :( Everytime i look at my car there seems to be another problem! Haha not giving up hope yet!

Thanks!

It is the door frame and it has started rusting through. :( I was thinking about going to a junkyard to see if i could get some other doors maybe with a little less rust! But the rest of my door is in good condition. The rain must have collected under the weather strip and sat for a while rusting it out! I am stumped for ways to fix it. My body work skills lack under the best circumstances. This is well out of my league!

Maybe this weekend i can get some pictures of my car in general. So I can show it off haha.
