Not sure if it's called the belt or trim, but there is rust (hopefully only scale or surface rust) along these areas of the window. Looks like there might be a bit where that black quarter window trim starts too.
I understand it depends on the extent of the rust, but in terms of repair do you think this is a job for wire wheel or brush to remove the rust, sand, and then prime or paint? Or maybe use some rust converter or rust encapsulator and then paint? I remember reading these pieces have rivets holding them in, so if necessary maybe drill the rivets, remove, repair, and then reinstall? I have seen the different trim pieces that go under and around the windows, but not new versions of these.
Any best practices on how to approach this?
