is rust under the side rear wagon windows costly to repair? 200 85

posted by  someone claiming to be will on  Tue May 23 02:56 CST 2000 [RELATED]

dear brick,

my wife's 85 240 wagon's body is in great shape until you get to the side rear windows. looking in to the inside of the car, rust has eatin out the metal around the area that the black bar in the middle of those windows enters. i am also positive that under the window seal it is nasty as well. i have no clue how rust could have come inside the car like this. i also wonder about those black and chrome trim pieces that ran along the bottom of the 84-85 240's. does water just sit up under them. they fall apart and look crapy on those cars now. i had a friend who said he discarded them when he replaced the window seals in his wagon and used the tape or whatever the later models used. my wife loves her car and would love to keep it for many more years. should we try and at some time repair the rust or would the cost at a shop be more than the car is worth. thanks again brick for all the help.

will
