I've been searching for threads on rain gutter rust for the last couple weeks. I've found a lot of threads about the problem, but no comprehensive plans for solving it.
My rain gutters are pretty good in most spots, but downright crunchy in a couple.
I want them to be solid so that I can mount my killer roof rack, and so my whole roof doesn't rot, but I'm not sure what path to pursue. Your advice is greatly appreciated.
Do you cut them off in spots and fab replacements? If so, what's the best way to refab? Or do you yank the whole thing and start out fresh? Do you weld them back on? If so how do you not melt your headliner? Somebody told me to epoxy glue them back on. Is this bond strong enough to mount a foof rack to?
I know you can get replacement gutters for 40s from CCOT, but I didn't see any for 60s.
I'm positive that many people have done this because it seems to be a common problem, and I'm pretty sure there is a good solution, I just need a little help figuring it out.
