I've got a flush-fit (Gemtop GT Classic) decklid, and it came with color-matched stake hole covers, so that the bed would be weather-tight. Now, 9 years later, I'm seeing signs of RUST on these pop-in puppies... hopefully the "cancer" hasn't spread to the bed itself... need to examine.
Anyway, I'm 110% sure I'm never going to put wooden stakes in those holes, and run chicken wire between them, and then haul around shrubbery and illegal immigrants, lol.
So how would you fill these in PERMANENTLY? I've seen mention of WELDING...? If I wanted to use Bondo, would I use some kind of wood or wire "bed" to pile the Bondo on top of?
Thanks in advance...
