Ive got surface rust developing for about 24" of the seal like above the Windshield. Looks like it goes under the seal in some spots. My question is can i fix this my self? Would i have to pull the windshield and then get a new weather strip for it? looks like the rust goes under far enough that i cant see where it stops. If i was to take it to a professional how much do you think it would cost? To save up for the ideal solution is there a way i can slow it down enough to make it last for 6 months or so till i can have it properly repaired. It looks like im starting to get some flakes of rust to come off, i guess that would start to be considered Rot by now right?

 

thats a pretty bad spot -- I have rust there too and I belive there is a seam under the seal that is the source of the rust. I actually had the windshield replaced and had the shop sandblast and paint the whole windshield surround area. It didnt help and now I have rust there again.

 

I also have this problem on my new project IROC, I will most likely pull the windshield and sand/sandblast prime and paint the entire area as I am mortified at the sight of rust in all of its forms
