hi gang looked today at the money burner and noticed theres some quite bad rust spots under the windscreen rubber and scuttle, what im asking is, does the scuttle repair panels repair upto the bottom of the the windscreen under the rubbers? or does it stop short before? cheers in advance and sorry if its a stupid question :)

[stretch tech]

are you on about a full scuttle ?

i am replacing my scuttle as there is a very bad rust spot right in the centre and bubbling paint at the ends



i have got a genuine full scuttle as i have heard that the pattern ones don't make the windscreen fit right, this has a full lip that goes under the rubber and i am sure all others do as well



hope this helps

How hard are they to replace?, I need a new half scuttle as the L/H side is seriously bad but the R/H is fine so I'm not going to replace the whole thing and save a bit of money but was wondering how difficult it was, cheers.

I had rust in both corners of the scuttle and also the drivers side top corner so I replaced the whole windscreen panel. Expensive but looks good, only do what you need to do tho

The scuttle not to bad to replace, window out and wipers out , drill some spot welds out and do a few cuts, whip the **** bit out and weld in the new clean up the welds, paint and replace the window and wipers. (removing wipers depending which panel you get)
Just gotta make sure everything meets up good and stuffs clean to weld
