(On a Beetle, this would be called the "heater channel", but on yours it is a "sill".) It is a very big deal and that's why he begged off. To get at least some idea of what is involved, have a look at what one guy went thru on his Beetle: http://www.my67bug.com/ Don't rush into a decision what to do, but gather all the info you can.
