Winter rust stinks. Went to get my Volvo’s driveshaft balanced and there was a guy with the rusted hulk of a 2002 Dodge truck front drive shaft (he might have said he uses it for plowing) . They tech said that he wouldn’t touch the axle because even if he rebuilt the u-joints it so rusty that the tubing was paper thin and he wan’t going to get his prints on something that was going to get hurled out on the highway. Also, it cost $140 to get my 2 piece drive shaft balanced. $100 seems more appropriate but how often does one get the driveshaft balanced.

Slow it down with “Fluid Film” . Take off the door card and spray a little along the inner seam and then do the same on the area that you showed in the photo. Be warned that this stuff smells terrible, but the smell eventually gets better.

Would you not want to hit it with converter first or remove the rust? Fluid Film is just a barrier iirc

In New England, it’s not so much a question of where as it is when.
Rust is inevitable.

Yup, fluid film is an oil spray that will stick to the surface, he could hit it with a rust converter but that rust is definitely starting from the inside of the door out. He could try to spray rust converter inside and outside the door first. Hopefully he can reach it all. And then do the fluid film every year to seal the moisture out
