Paul, the drain holes need to be enlarged. The holes are not at the edge of the panel and ponds water inside the door. I wash my car as little as possible. I wipe it down after every drive and I use spray wax by P&S to keep it shiny. The only way to completely get rid of the rust is to cut it out. | ||

Just moved to NY city suburbs..finally don't have to pay for a garage...that last inch of door has no drainage at all and traps moisture...not much that can be done other than cut out and replace with new metal...had it ground and patched..just won't last. | ||

Paul, that looks great... what part of the country are you in? Why do have rust bubbles? | ||
