Superdog Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 if mine had looked half as good as yours,I wouldn't have worried about it. That red was faded so bad,plus there wasn't much paint left on the roof.

Superdog Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I didn't take the windshield out,the rubber was good and it didn't leak,seems like everytime I ever took one out,I spent a month getting it to quit leaking.

Mike Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I've always found where water pooles, dirt is inevitable and forms rust, even when no signs of leakage are present. It is good practice to change the rubber especially before painting so there is not a line. Unless you are wanting to make a fast buck, or cutting corners.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31791-getting-closer/#findComment-192404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That red was faded so bad,plus there wasn't much paint left on the roof.Ever notice how my pics are 50+ feet away from the truck, its a good 50 footer! theres a lot of chips on the back of the sleeper and under all the doors and my roof is peeling pretty bad too, I got on it with some scuff pads and some rattle can to keep the rust away for now.
