I've used that and it aint that good IMO  :sad: I used it and was only any good when I completely ground out every spec of rust and by then it was just acting as a primer for the rust free area left behind. I think the best long term policy is to cut out/grind every bit of rust possible/visible and then weld or fill the area followed by a rust preventing primer !

Deffo a glass out job. You'll find the area under the rubber has probably turned to dust. I would suggest getting it done now rather than leaving it as the worse it gets the more it'll cost.

Good luck!

The mk2 i'm breaking had a bit of rust there, didn't look as bad as that though. When i took the windscreen out i found out that there was no metal behind it! :shocked:
