Rusty High Level Brake Light Mount... was created by K3ITH
My 2003 Jimny O2 Convertible is in pretty good shape and doesn't seem to have a rust problem. But I noticed some rusty water streaks on the back door behind the spare wheel - When I touched the High-Level Brake Light fitting lots of particles of rust fell out.
Removing the plastic cover revealed this! - A real water trap here!
I carefully removed the fragile piece and screwed it to a block of wood that was covered in polythene. This kept the basic shape and mounting positions in the right place. I then coated it with a rust cure product, fibre-glassed the area completly and painted it.
Fibre-Glassed, painted and back on the car. Not pretty, but functional.
You'd never know what I'd done when the plastic cover was re-attached.
