If the seam rust is on the driver's side  then you probably need to take out
the camping gear and address it from the inside.  There may be just a little
showing on the outside but there is probably 10x worse rust behind it.

Subject: POR 15 in the seems

So I've been working diligently to clear paint from the floor in Zeno in
preparation for the arrival and application of POR 15 treatment.  Who knew
that a wire brush and a grinder could be so much fun?  Anyway my question
concerns similar treatment to the exterior of the van.  I'm thinking
seriously of grinding out the seams the little bit of rust that may
currently reside there and then treating these problem areas with POR 15.

Questions.  Has anyone else done this before?  What should I be concerned
about?  Are there gotcha's you can point out before I discover them the hard
way?

Thanks,
