Rot typically starts at the lower rear corner of the arch and the seam to the door step, then spreads into the step and floor. Once you can push a screwdriver through, patching with flat sheet rarely holds up or looks right. An O.E.-style shaped panel gives a correct arch profile and a proper flange for welding. Syncro panels are scarce because the Syncro arch is not the same as the 2WD arch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a weld-in panel.
