Well it finally happened...:banghead:
too much weight on the rack, bumpy roads, 176k or all of the above and the weld started to crack where the b-pillar meets the bottom of the drip rail. no rust as far as I can see. it hasn't cracked though, but creaks making a racket when I hit bumps.... I can see where part of it has a hairline crack... not bad, maybe 1/3 of the outfacing side. it is noticeable since I took the rack off...
whats the general consensus on repairing this?
