Default Door Jam Rust Through

The top half of the door jams on my 78 coupe are severely rusted out due to neglect and weatherstripping rot. How can this be repaired? Is it possible to remove and replace or must it be rebuilt? Thanks.

IF you mean above the top hinge on the body itself, where the windshield frame intersects....you have to take the entire front end off, separate the glue, and replace the rusted out metal....it's major work....

Does this help? Check out Chapter 11 - Birdcage Repairs on my site.

Actually, I should have specified the back end. The front, hinges etc look ok.
