I decided check inside my door for rust then spray some Rustoleum rust converter. Surprisingly there was no rust inside the door bottom just that outside bottom seam.
To paint that seam I needed to remove bottom weather strip. It's held on with about 5 of those plastic retaining clips (if that's what you call them).
Of course more than a few broke on removal so I am searching everywhere for replacements. Does anybody know where I can buy them.
They look like a small T. The top legs of the T slip into a hole in the weather strip, and the shaft pushes into the door to hold it tight.
I'll try the dealer, but in the past they have been less than helpful.
Job almost complete, just need for rust converter to dry then spray with a top coat of matching paint if I can find some.
