well i went to the local toyota dealer and was quoted 800.00+ for a blended repair.....(removal of window included,as well as new seal etc)

The black area on my pic is POR15 that we brushed on after scraping/sanding away the bubbled paint and rust.

The real ***** is that its eating away at the metal,so how is filler gonna hold up to the process of reinstalling the glass/seal?

We(friend who helped with temp repair)and myself speculate that inferior paint quality/technique,followed by xtra effort to install the seal/glass caused some paint to be removed in the area that subsequently started to rust,possibly because the seal traps water in that lower edge?we are not sure but it does suck a bunch,especially since my 8 year old cruiser has less than 60,000 miles on her........

anybody have any suggestions i am open(but the cruiser is factory locked <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> )
