<VV> repairing the windshield channel

[J R Read_HML]

I would say, get on your back on the front floor and look up (with a light) 
toward the seam where that window channel meets the forward edge of the 
dash.  If it is rusted through, the best repair would be to weld (or have 
welded) in a replacement panel.

What technique do you guys recommend for repairing the windshield channel 
now that the glass has been removed?  I don't have a welder or welding 
skills so I'd rather avoid replacing the metal altogether unless you feel 
it's really neccessary.  My channel has plenty of scaling all the way 
around, and there are quite a few small holes across the bottom section, but 
its not rotted out completely.  I haven't cleaned it all up yet so I'm not 
quite certain just how bad it is yet.

I was thinking of cleaning it up the best I can, then applying POR-15 and 
afterward put fiberglass or bondo in the holes.  What do you all think?
