It is rusted and corroded in several spots (although both sides are relative in one piece)My question is this: If I take a dremmel and grind off all of the remaining rust and then take small strips of fiberglass over the rusted and corroded parts so that the frame will become fiberglass with a metal skeleton. I am pretty sure I can recreate the channels in the corroded areas for the weatherstripping and window with my dremmel when the fiberglassing is done.Will this be stong enough when I put it all back together again? I would hate to go to all that trouble just to see the frame snap when it's put in place. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | The metal frame X-section is pretty thin - not sure you could remove enough metal and rebuild with fibreglass. There is a splice bar that fits in the lower center bottom frame area which needs to be tight to avoid too much flex when you crank open the window. I ended up buying a new frame which is expensive, but mine was pretty far gone. You could always try the FG solution, the buy a frame if necessary. | | |
