Guest Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Hi Guys, I know this has been covered probably before but has anyone used fiber-glass to fill the windscreen wiper hole and rear spoiler holes on a 350z tailgate/boot lid? If so did you apply from underneath and how many layers of fiber did you use? Like wise has anyone welded the holes using discs underneath then filled over the top? especially the one nearest the window as a little worried the screen may crack from heat distortion. Lastly was the repair successful a year or 2 down the line, i.e no cracking or signs of filling etc? As a lot of topics cover the filling of holes but you never find out if they were ok over time.

Cheers Andy Not sure how useful this comment is but mine were all welded, stock spoiler holes and also rear badge holes. Having said that i wasn't there watching over the work. Spoiler holes show no signs of movement, i believe plates were welded below and then filled and flatted off. Worked for me, so far any way.

Hayd350 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 sorry, i thought i'd written that in. About a year and a half ago now mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'd definitely weld the holes up. For the wiper hole I'd cut a disk out and weld that in. Grind it all smooth, tiny skim of filler and then get a painter to do the whole boot and blend it in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
