: repair coupe rear window rusted corners

1969 coupe, New England style rusted window.
Is there a repair panel available for the rear window corners? The window to trunk valance panel is easy, but does not reach the corners. Full factory quarters would fix it, but I would rather not pay that price.
Partial quarters are plentiful, and almost any car needing them needs these window corners, can anyone offer an alternative?
Thanks, Terry

Terry,

I had the same problem. I had a competent body man totally rebuild the corners from scratch. He used the trip as a template and made strips from sheetmetal and welded them in. Hope this helps.

i thought my corners were all that needed repair.after i sanded the rest of window chanel i found more holes that someone had covered with bondo and used fiberglass on the large holes.i also used sheetmetal to fix mine,it turned out to be a major job.good luck, ricky
