What I did is take a dremel or other cutting tool, cut out all of the rusted/ damaged qp, take a flat piece of sheet metal, roll and shape it to match the part you took off, you can use the rusted part and other side for reference. Make it sit flush, then begin welding it back and keep sanding it down and using body filler (the kind you mix not cheap bondo) until it is smooth. Sand, primer, and repaint. That's really one of the few options.. if it sounds difficult, it is. I never would have done it myself if my dad didn't do bodywork. good luck =( Honda cancer sucks.

More and more of the shops are glueing them in instead of welding.
Useing sheet metal screws to hold it in place till it sets and then removeing them.
