Last year , I noticed a surface rust that runs like a line where two metal meets joint by weld. I scrapped it until I saw a metal and cleaned it well. I sprayed a rust primer paint and did forget it before the winter comes.
Now, the rust started to eat up from beneath. It seems like it is not too late to fix it by scraping it.
I went to the body shop and they said they need to remove the windshield, front quartel panel and see where water is seeping. No signs of interior leaks or anything. I also went to the dealership and ask them to see if this is covered by warranty. (i doubt it)
I went to another bodyshop for second opinion and told me the same thing. If not covered by warranty, this fix will be around $2000-3000. My car is currently worth 10k-11k only and I dont think it us worth paying for this. I am keeping it for another 2 yrs... I might just do it my self and see how bad the rust is...
Here is the picture. This is the passenger side that has issue. The driver side is immaculate. No issue at all.
