So... I am going to attempt to re-attach the windshield frame on my teener. The welder i currently have at my disposal is a flux stick welder and im afraid that this thing will just burn holes right through the factory steel. I know that mig is better but this is available to me and it is already a hack job so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) to get me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . Any input on this subject will help.

Do yourself a huge favor. Borrow the welder, find some scrap 20 gauge and try welding it BEFORE you attack the car with it. Then go find a mig setup to borrow. If you still want to try it then do like Rick illustrated. Plug weld the sleeve. Trying to butt weld with a stick welder will most likely end in disaster.
