I have a small area of the same corrosion bubbling, in the same place (RHS trim, just ahead of mirror mount). I've simply rubbed oil into it to prevent it getting worse, which seems to have worked for the last 5-6 years.

I'd love to correct it but it seems the trims are pretty much destroyed by removal, new ones are VERY expensive and it's a small area, so.... it's now in the category of "patina".
