My duster has a crack at the roof and rear quarter seam...anyone know if the seam is spot welded from the factory ,,,any clues on how I should go about repairing this? Thanks
 
Yes, spot welded & rust commonly forms in between the layers.

It could be body filler or lead to hide the seam. Cracks are common, so to find out if rust is an issue, the filler has to be removed.

Thanks for the response,,,if It is lead and I remove it,,and repair problem,,is is alright to use good bondo for filler?
 
Over the welded seam i suggest a thin coat of fiberglass aka kitty hair then body filler.
