awesome job! Make sure you take the Cap off and silicone your 3rd brake light. Believe it or not that is where all that rust comes from. Leaks into the light and then down to the corners and pools in there. I wish I had known years ago on my 2010......now mine is pretty roached but I am going to try these covers.
There is factory holes inside the cab frame where water gets in. Right where the running boards mount. Must be 2" or bigger. Also the weather strip is pinned on with about 15 holes in each rocker that leaks. There also is a fold where the corner meet the rocker your finger can go in . I spray oil right in there and mine is solid.
Outta sight outta mind need these for myf150, I had rust on my bedside over the where.s some nice used Orem flares painted to match and they sure goneoutta sight made truck look nicer good job on yours it’s a pain to repair with new metal even forme working in a b shop
There’s alotta after market additions that you just ‘tape’ on- but this is an actual body repair issue and I’m not good with doing any repairs using ‘tape’.
How did you get the rust between the outer and inner rocker panels where it folds together? Where 2 of the bolts for your running boards go. I'm about to do this and it looks like there is significant rust on those two edges and I'm concerned about not having any material to rivet the quick covers to.
There is no such a professional way to fix this , once the rust is there it will always be there no matters what you do. Fixing is just temporary that’s all.
You made so much work on yourself just to put plastic covers over the rust. You might as well put new metal rockers on at this rate. Kinda useless all your procedure. imo
