For pics of what seam rust looks like from the inside p-mail me. A little on
the outside most likely means a lot on the inside. If you really want it to
go away you'll need to attack from the inside.

the entire seam, picked the seam clean and filed to bare metal with a small
file, applied the black rust inhibitor, two coats of primer, three coats of
finish color and a clear coat.  It lasted about two years - the source of
the moisture was from the inside.  I now have a mess as the seam is starting
to cme apart.   I am also interested in how to get after this and would be
interested in the responses to your request.
