remove the trim and weather strip, get a knotted wire wheel or grinder and go to town. Stop when you hit good metal and replace.

Jesus Christ. That’s awful. What’s really left good on the car, and where else is there rust?
Quantify the project before you get too deep.
Is this the car you just bought? Sorry to see this. Ugh.

Wow that is bad. You may have to find a donor car and cut the upper part of the windshield post and weld it back in. That will require some serious work but it may be your only choice.

Re: Rotting issue on convertible top of windshield
I would recomend to find another chassis. From what you described for rust of what you can see I imagine its much worst where you cant. Walk away from this chassis and find a donor or part this out and buy another car.
