[QUOTE="andewilson, post: 72831, member: 649"] hi you are correct, the replacement sill does not come with the top lip. i cut the original one off just below (1mm below) where the bottem lip horizontally comes out. then i cut the new panel and butt jointed the new to the old. hence the reason you cant see the weld in the photo. i did it this way as i didnt want to have to grind welds off or have penetration welds in the vissible part of the track. as the spot welded lip of the bottem track conceals the reverse side of the welded joint. get your grinder out and give it a tickle, i dont think many people take on the sliding track. even the guy at schofields advised me not to bother.
