drip rail rust
drip rail rust remediation
Caulk gun, and black silicone in a tube from Home Depot forced into the rusted area. Hardly a councours restoration, but hoping it will work for at least a while to keep the rainwater out.

Re: drip rail rust
The passenger side area between the door-seal flange and the drip rail was SEVERELY rotted. That's the side that you see already silicone-caulked in the vid above.
Here is the driver's side (not nearly as rusted - but still bad) before caulking today.
Turn the sound all the way up (since its near Halloween - this should give you a good case of the creeps).
