Thread: rust repair - glue?

    rust repair - glue?

    I have to put some new floor pans in my van.

    I was thinking of getting this welded then started thinking about using a high strength adhesive.

    Has anyone used adhesives and if so which type and pros - cons

    Is it legal??

    cheers wayne

    I many panel shops when replacing a rear 1/4 panel these days use glue. But. There is no way I would use it on the floor. Your floor is a major strength part of the car. I cant see how any glues can be as strong as welding.

    I would think welding would be safer? A guide post or something similar would make short work of glue if it came through the floor.

    Glued in floor pans won't pass licensing.

    Glues are used these days to restick new roof's on vehicles - this joint to A/B/C pillar is structural as well.

    Thus I would have thought they would be ok for a floor pan - as the glue will be applied to a great area than just the weld. Thus less stress on the material.

    Still never mind we'll weld them
