Manufacturers of hartop repair panels

[RufusTheDufus]

I've found a number of places that manufacture/sell body tub replacement sheet metal. I haven't seen any hardtop repair panels.

I have some rust on my BJ42's hardtop mounting rail in the curved back corner area. (The flat part of the sheet metal that bolts to the tub.) Is there a company out there that makes repair panels for the 40 series hard tops or should I look for a donor vehicle to cut a section from?

Thanks.

I'm assuming you are talking about the hardtop dome and the steel raingutter that is riveted to it.
There is a landcruiser shop here in Oregon that sells fiberglass raingutters. I am using one to replace my steel raingutter that was totally rusted out. I figure it will be better in the long run...no rust.

The name of the shop is Landcruiser Specialties (Hillsboro, Oregon)

I'm not affiliated but the owner has done some work for me and he is, in my opinion, a stand up guy.

Sorry if I misinterpreted what you were asking for.

Here is a pic. I bolted down the raingutter for fit and next I will glass the dome and gutter together.
