Is this a common RUST spot!

I found an area of rust below my rear bumper where the bumper cover attaches to a metal piece (bar) that runs across the car. Is that a common rust area? I remember once I was looking at a Z28 that was really rusted in that spot! Anyone else have more info??

It's a bolt on part. Just get another one.

Mine is doing this as well. I poked and pinched it the other day and chunks of rotted "metal" fell to the ground.

You can see right through it in some areas now!
