Hello Volks

I just had the passenger side rocker panel and lower side panel replaced on
my '90 Westy due to rust through. The body shop heavily undercoated the
bottom of panel. I believe condensation on the inside of the panel causes
this rust problem. I am trying to decide how to more effectively insulate
the panel to stop the problem from reoccurring. I've seen it mentioned that
the insulation at the bottom of the panel holds water and tends to promote
the rust. I suspect that without the insulation in this area more
condensation would actually occur.

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to effectively deal with this
issue. I plan to keep this vehicle for many years to come and do not wish to
deal with this problem again.
