Hi, I have an astra mk2 gte soft top i have rusting in the usual place of below the passenger window cill and on the back wings is it possible to just replace the entire pannel - (it would be cheaper than getting it fixed)

thanks

You can get just the arch bit, they cut out the rusty bit, and weld in the new section.

The arch panel should be the same as a normal 3dr on a convertable.
