After the channel is repaired, use a new gasket rather than trying to replace the old one.
How do they typically repair it? I'd think welding would probably ruin the paint. I was thinking por15 and epoxy putty possibly, if I find any rust through - otherwise just cleaning it up and using por15. Or is this something that's typically done on cars in need of paint jobs?
