They fit between the front quarter light and wind down window. At the bottom they are held, in my case, by a pop rivet. Water had gathered in the bottom of the door due to a damaged plastic membrane and caused inevitable rot.
I cleaned up the metal and then cut out the rot.
The created new sections. Difficult as the guide is like a girder section. I could fold one section then weld the other to it to form the shape.
Once the new section was formed I could weld it to the existing clean metal. Trying to maintain the curve of the guide as best as possible.
Finally treated with full POR 15 treatments, then some rust proofing seam sealer before etch primer and top coat. They dont look too bad considering the state they were in!
