When my replacement rear quarter panel was attached to car, shop neglected to keep both seams which go between body panels. Yellow arrow indicates seam I am describing, red arrow shows where there is supposed to be one.

Think it's possible to recreate seam with grinder or something? After looking at repair from inside trunk, I'm concerned how the repair was carried out. I can't tell if the panels were welded together (I hope not!); something sure doesn't look right. I'll get some digital pics of repair from inside trunk and post next week.

Going to have to tackle this area again anyways, the paint has begun cracking in approximate area where seam should be, not good (especially since I towed car out of autobody shop only a few weeks ago).

Oh yeah, the silver metal piece which holds tailight bulbs has now been installed correctly (from the inside, not on outside as shown in pic).
