I'm in the process of removing alot of rust from the roof corners of the ram, in the process parts of the guttering have come off due to rust, question is can i buy replacement guttering and where ? or would it be easier just to take the rest of it off ?

Personally I don't like de-seamed cars so I'd try to repair it, if you carnt find a donor/breaker to cut the gutter out try looking at other cars and try to find somthing that'll work. Plus de-seaming is very hard to get right, it tends to leave a flat spot where the gutter was.

I had to repair some of the gutter on my Ram van. I just made the sections I needed out of sheet fold to suit. I wasn't all that hard to do.

you might also find your door seals leak if you de-gutter it.

just make some. on something like that its more than likely just flat strip with a profile bent on it and tacked on anyway.
its really not hard at all to replicate.

rams all go here, is nice and easy to make up as said, i cut old off and then put a thin disc in the seam to grind out the remains, as its prob will have rusted out a little as mine had. i think the gutter is fitted to the side assembly and then roof panel added on top. i then tacked this from inside the little holes in the box and then smeared little seam sealer over the join top and bottom.
