help new polo owner door issues!

[phil peak]

Hi,
I am just about to inherit a 91 breadvan gt and there are a few bits to fettle.
The biggest issue is the quarter light pillar on the drivers door is rusted quite badly inside and looks shocking. The rest of the door seems sound so would like to repair it rather than replace it as and trying to replace the whole door seems a hassle, no calypso green ones out there and a respray appears to be big money. Any hints or similar experiences?

From memory, (about 5 years ago - so apologies if this is twaddle!) that pillar bolts on. That's how you get the quarter light glass out... Whip the doorcard off and have a look. Then either refurb, or get one off another door.

they do bolt on. I have a spare which i bought for the same purpose. never bothered to fit it though! both gt breadies ive owned have suffered this, yet have never seen it on any of the numerous coupes ive owned. strange seing as the doors are the same
