Wow, this has me dreading the repair on my Valiant. I have some Rust bubbles under the vinyl top, so i am imagining there is much more that i cant see.Windshield frame and drip rail I've already paid another shop to cut out and replace. Amazing the damage a vinyl top does. This is going to be one expensive paint job.

About the only way to prevent it from happening again is to seal both sides of the metal with epoxy primer. There is also some really good rust encapsulator that Eastwood has that works well. I have a couple spots I sprayed on my 39 Nash back in 1995 and sitting outside in the weather and they have weathered everything to date pretty well. Some day I will get to work on her.Wow, this has me dreading the repair on my Valiant. I have some Rust bubbles under the vinyl top, so i am imagining there is much more that i cant see.
I wonder if there is a way to prevent this from happening?
