First off I'm no expert
, But I'll give you what I found on my roof, Pretty much nothing between the two pieces of sheet metal that are spot welded together, There's a bunch of seam sealer up top in the gutter, some places about 1/8" to 3/16" deep with the stuff. If you are looking to refill seams just go to your paint store and purchase a good brand of seam sealer. What exactly are you trying to do?

Thanks for the info.... To answer your question, my truck is kind of a hot rod and the door handles and mirrors have been shaved. I was wondering if i should continue the smooth look by filling the seams completly flat (weld/filler). Sorry for the delay. Thanks again! slo-5.0
