Does anyone know of a way to fill these up or a way to fix this problem, because at the moment its a pretty big pain to clean them out. Has anyone every welded some sheet metal covers up? Id really appreciate any suggestions or solutions.
i think that's the product of 'a lesson learned' possibly. on the 97-03 F-150 they are known for the rockers rusting. they rot from the inside out. even though they appear to be 'closed/sealed' crap still gets in there and when you start to see the rust through the paint its already way too late. although the openings are a way to let dirt in they are also a way for it to escape/get washed out.
