Repair cracked B pillars with filler? You got to be joking right?

no they dont, and they are unhelpful about it on the phone too, that was when they were based in uk too... i decided to not bother spending my money with them and had one made else where by a much friendlier company. stoney ginger has a normal corsa one in his sunroof car

I think what you do is buy a plate from Vauxhall that spot welds onto the back of the B pillar, or it is stuck on with special adhesive, and just grind out the rust and weld over the crack... I'm researching into it anyway. I will have an answer soon enough

wow how big is the crack we talking about thought you meant like a small bit of rust starting to come through like a crack in the paint job. You mean like a large chunk of the B pillar cracked?

From what I remember my Uncle (bodyshop manager at my Vaux dealer) saying about repairing the cracked pillar they weld a plate on the inside of the car. Dont know the ins and outs of it though...

Any crack will just re-appear if you just slap a load of filler on over it. Be it within a day or a year, it will happen.
I will experiment on my car first. If I fix it ok then I will gove yours a crack Nath. If you are daring enough
