So had to remove my fender well (see another thread about that) and noticed that the Framing has alot of wood rott. There isn't a single bit of silicone anywhere and is the reason that water was able to enter around the sides of the fender well when driving in any kind of weather or hitting puddles. The pictures you see is after I manually removed the rotted wood. The rest will need to be removed using power tools. Has anyone done this job on thier TM? If so what type of filler material is best for this application? I would think something like a two part epoxy or two part putty. How can I get into this area other than the fender well to remove the wood? I would rather not peel back any of the exterior or underside aluminum skin but can't think of any other way to get at it. Thanks.
