I'm nearly ready to paint my 1953 interior. I have replaced the inner cowl panels, so I now need to install a foot or two of the channel that the windlace slides into. I assume that I should drill a few holes in the center of the track and then weld it to the inner cowl panel. I'm a little concerned about grinding those welds flat enough to allow the new rubber to slide freely. I'll appreciate any advice regarding this. I also wondered if there is an adhesive that would work well enough that it wouldn't even need to be welded. I also wondered about possibly tack welding the new channel on the front edge, where it wouldn't show anyway. HELP
