I have made mention a few times on the list that I had my van
repainted. When doing this I replaced the metal panel between the
upper grille and the bumper. This is a single panel and has a cutout
for the lower grille. My panel was the only truly rusted part of my
whole van, and was particularily bad where the seam joined the bumper.

Anyway, when the shop welded the pannel back in place they spot welded
it before painting. Right now it looks great, but I can't help
thinking the water is just going to get under there again. Should this
seam be welded all the way across?
