I've had the van since February and knew there were a few rust issues that would need addressing. The first pictures are from May when I filled holes in the offside rear panel.
Wire brushed then treated with Bilt Hamber Hydrate 80 (same as vactan).

Painted
There was also a lovely hole in the offside outer sill so I patched that too as a temporary repair.
As you have probably already guessed the area behind this is perfectly solid with no holes whatsoever...

Have you any idea what cause this? Is it corrosion from the outside?
From what I can tell, it's from water sitting where the panel clips on. I've not had the window out so that could be another cause. I checked the other side today and it's exactly the same.
