This will be behind the new liner and the liner wouldn't be installed till after the prep, patch/welding work. Then it needs to be ground and smoothed along with proper coating against rust .......Will almost not be noticeable when all set and done.

What was in the joint before, it looks like 1/2 inch of metal is gone on all the joints...
They were covered with these plastic clip/covers, but a few of them have broken off, hence this one and 2 other being exposed.
Well if you find a guy that welds tig like me you won't need a grinder either atleast not for the welds but for other prep work maybe. Then again this should be done with old liner out of there so who cares about sparks. The bigger issue I see is cleaning up before a new liner gets installed but a well organized cleanup is very doable.Lovely

So those plastic pieces are just covering the damage, do you know where to get new ones? You could easily use that POR 15 and fix the rust then cover it back up with the plastic pieces... I bet someone could 3d print some new ones
I just bought the house a couple of years ago. These plastic things have been on there anywhere there is a joint. I have no clue where these clips are from. I’m not familiar with 3D printing, but I will do a search in my area to see if I can find someone. I truly appreciate your help! This is incredibly frustrating.So those plastic pieces are just covering the damage, do you know where to get new ones?

Looking again at the first picture is telling me another story. That white clip is to cover the gap between two lengths of what seems to be covering the track where the liner gets wedged into. When they change the liner I think all that needs to come off. The rust is on the cover of those tracks for the liner. Nothing needs to be welded. I think new covers are all that is need. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
I’m not sure, but hoping your right
. Here is a photo of a place the liner is pulling out and it appears to be under, but I have no clue how any of this attaches.Attachments
Not sure if it needs to come off when changing the liner but it's not an integral part. It is a cover of sort for sure. Looks like they're laminated with some kind of white plastic film or at least the clip as you called it. The last picture has that clip peeling from what I can tell.
I would suspect that you can probably just cut out the bad spots and insert a new piece of coping into the section.
Do you know the original builder or can you find the same type of coping?
If you can find the coping, you can probably find the clips.
If you can't find the clips, you can probably use Bondo or a similar patch material and then repaint the coping.

You can buy aluminum used for flashing where one side is white. Cut and bend it around a form and you got it.

The coping needs a track that can receive the liner bead.
If you can find the correct coping, remove the pavers over the bad spot and cut out the bad coping.
Insert the new coping and secure it. Redo the pavers.
Put clips or Bondo the gaps and repaint.

No, unfortunately I’ve only owned the house for a few years. The pool has been here since the 90’s. I had one pool company tell me they don’t sell this type (steel) any longer.
Awesome, thanks for letting me know. I will definitely look into that.
This is where I’m confused. My coping does not have a track under that I can see. See photo pleaseGrey Swimming Pool Coping Clips Bull Nose & Flex Style
