This may have been done before but let's here some veiws for lead or lead free solder vs filler in a factory panel seam, ie: 1/4 panel to roof where the joint is quite large?

---

Its been discussed before and the factory seemed to have lead in the painted roofs and plastic in the vinyl top models. I would prefer lead.

---

I've never seen plastic behind a vinyl from the factory? Not pre 73 anyway, they've always been lead in any that I've removed...

---

My 73 is lead. The rest of the vinyl portion of the roof was primer with some body color overspray and that is it. There was no rust when the vinyl was removed. There was some rust in the passenger lower quarter that was replaced but in my opinion, it was attacked from the interior from other rust in that quarter allowing moisture into the trunk.
