We all know Chrysler had sloppy welds on their C-pillar roof joints and tried to cover it up, or lessen the obvious, by putting on a vinyl roof. I guess "because it was original" but it baffles me that someone would restore a car and make it pristine and like show-room new in every way and then leave the horrible welds under the new vinyl roof. I am doing a search for another car and found what I like - a 4-spd, matching #s, nice color, even nice wheels. But in the walk-around there is a 1/2 a sausage on the C-pillar under the vinyl roof from the weld and coverup. The other half of the sausage is on the other C-pillar weld. I can't live with those poor welds under the vinyl roof. What would we be talking in upholsterer or body person to take up the vinyl enough to smooth the welds on both sides, and then put the vinyl back? Is that a simple easy job? Any guesstimates on what that might cost? I've never had a vinyl roof car before and I like the car, I just hate those poor welds.
