rear fender separated!

[mr_miles]

was doing the speaker install in my gnarish (HB) today, looked in at the fender and saw light. thought it was a little odd, possibly a reflection, so i stuck my head in further, turns out my outer fender has separated from the inner! i don't have a welder to spot weld it back on, but its only about about 1/4 inch apart. I was thinking, would automotive urethane be good enough? it holds glass in, figured it would hold that together, too. Mostly concerned about keeping the inside dry, is all.

I just checked on Crashy, and on her more banged up side hers has a gap. It appears that it wasn't welded, but rather just had the panel adhesive holding that seam together.

should be yellow, correct? I noticed that in there as well, and figured that it was used as sealant / glue along with tack's. kind of makes me feel better knowing that they aren't actually tacked. guess I'll go get some glue!

I think it actually starts off greyish, but discolors to yellow. It looks like the same material that is used on the seams under the carpet.

ah, cool. I'll be picking some of that up asap. OCD is kicking in, gotta fix it.
