Door window frame metal?

Featured Replies

What kind of metal are the door frames made out of? The shiny frame around the window broke off in the far back corner of the window on the Z I'm working on. At a close look, it almost looks like it was cast, but I'd like to hope not. It doesn't have corrosion on it, so it doesn't seem like it would be regular steel. I've got a spool of stainless wire, in addition to my many spools of steel wire. Unfortunately, I don't have a spool gun, or a tig welder so I'm out of luck if it's aluminum. Anyone else have this problem?

It's magnetic, therefore it's ferrous metal and easily weldable. I doubt it'd be anything exotic like 410 SS. Find a local guy that can TIG weld it. You should be OK.

If a repair job does not work for you let me know as I have a pair of these for sale. Shoot me a PM or email if you are unable to fix what you have.
