[1969] 1969 Digest, Vol 34, Issue 1

[corvair at frontiernet.net]

I forgot to mention that I used Eastwood's "Rust Encapsulator" after I
filled the seams in my Corsa:
http://www.eastwood.com/rust-solutions/treatment/rust-encapsulator-1.html

It doesn't need a topcoat like POR 15. I used it in the exposed area in the
fender well last year, and it hasn't deteriorated, nor has any rust come
through.  FYI.

Sir, take out the side vents including the plastic cover and take a heavy 
duty vaccume and suck out the trash that has accumulated in this area, you 
should see several places that the water can pass though to the lower rocker

channel if you have cleaned it out proberly if not take a screwdriver and 
start poking around then back with the vaccume untill all is clear in this 
area, and if you want to make sure no rust comes back use por 15 and coat 
this area with 3 coats of it and that should take care of your problem. To 
test if all is clear take a garden hose and see if  the area is holding 
water if it is you did not get all the trash out go back untill it will not 
hold water.
