Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 | I have about 2 1/2 feet of windlace that detached from the inside of the truck. So I am looking for ideas to reattach the channel. I could plug weld or tach weld along the sides, but I am concerned about the windlace fitting well. So anyone have an alternative to welding it, or would the best approach be just to go ahead and weld it back in place. Also my welding skills aren't what they once were. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 277 | I have the sample problem and plan on pop riveting the channel back in place

It needs to be solid when you start pulling the rubber windlace back in track. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 428 | Thanks for all the comments. I decided to use steel rivits. I put them 4 inches apart, and they seem to be very solid. After I get the finishing touches on the inner cowl panel, I will install the windlace and report back. | | |
