i just got the aut loc shaved door handle kit and i dont know what to do with the hole where the handles where. so what can i do

 

well, if you didnt know this before buying the kit, you might be a little surprised. in order to make this whole thing work, you have to install the kit, then fill the holes with a plug and fiberglass, then bondo with grinding and sanding in between, the primer, then paint. its kind of a big deal.

Best to use metal.... I think if you use fiberglass, after time you might see the seem lines. Lots of work either way.

 

I'm sure he understands it's a big deal... but you are wrong there is no plug and you most certainly don't use fiberglass on a sheet metal door. You slowly stitch weld a metal filler plate in then slowly grind, the key is to keep the heat down while doing all this. Get it as close to finish product in metal and use as little filler as possible. Sand prime paint.

 

Don't shave it is a big pain send the kit back. The silinoed will rust up and you will be locked out in a rain flood, get a window kit much better.

 

If I was doing this I would remove everything from the insides of the door before welding it, but that is just me. Also use a flapper style disc while grinding to keep the heat down, moving in long strokes.... Watch for heat burns in the metal when using the grinder....
