Pictures?? I can see doing the rear one as the 3" long gutter isn't doing much. I'll likely cut mine off before I paint.

Would like to see what they look like removed above the doors.

I think Maurice is going to cut his rear one off before he paints it.

The gutter acts as a spot weld location to join the rear quarter panels to the roof skin. Hides the ugly spot welds and makes the finishing easier. The spot weld machines need to be alot smaller as it's just 2 panels comming together.

If you ever look at a ranger you will see the seam run back around to the rear window and it usually looks like ass. With the open back of the B2 the roof skin needs to be welded somewhere. the curve in the rear windows leaves the 3" rain gutter at the back. 2" more window and it would never have been a problem. but to make the c pillar look close to the b pillar a space was nessesary.

Best reason I can come up with.:icon_twisted:
