T-Top Rust??
Everyone seems to only have rust issues on the black bar that divides the Ttops but up here in Canada we have rust EVERYWHERE. Does anyone have any recommendations for cleaning up the rust on this lip as well as the curved lip right near where the headliner ends?

I don't see a lot of options. You'll have to cut it out, and fabricate replacement metal, or buy parts from a southern donor car.

It has seen one winter but the rest of the car is actually in great shape rust wise. The picture looks worse than it is because I peeled the weather stripping off and haven't gotten around to dealing with the adhesive
