Car had a aftermarket windshield that was installed very poorly. I finally got around (after 5 years of having the windshield) to getting the old one removed and prep for the new one. There was the tiniest spot of rust peeking out from under the rubber seal near the cowl that I was concerned about.... silly me.
In this picture you can see the little spot that I could see initially. Tiny hole next to drain.
Probably the worst of it was up here
As you can see, due to the shit install done likely from the shit bodyshop who did a mediocre respray in the past, we got more rust than expected. And in some unusual spots.
But we cant change the past, and can only move forward. There was only one hole from my iniital inspection that can be welded shut (near drain hole on pass side), and the rest appears to be surface rust. I will be grinding everything down this weekend to get a better idea of what we are dealing with. I think I will be able to get away without having to cut anything out and patch repair it....but I wont know until I get everything down to metal. If all goes well, will get small hole filled, por15, primer, then paint. (will leave strip of primer exposed for the new adhesive to grab onto)
