Seam sealer failure on rear door

Anyone have this problem before? Seam sealer has completely failed on my rear door.

I am thinking light sandblast job (maybe) and a little phosphoric acid solution to eat the rest....

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
Mine is slowly starting to show that at 11 years old, not as bad as yours though. A body shop would be a good place to show

Just wondering if this was a common problem or not. It seems to be the only door this is happening to. Must be bad luck / mis-applied from the factory in this one spot.

I've done a bit of body and paint work over the years including a body-off resto/paint on my '59 beetle. I think I can fix it and make it look nice enough. It's in an obscure enough spot.

It just really caught me off guard - I am like WTF?!?

nice to be living in place where cars don't corrode.

Mine is doing that right rear door . I'm going to closely inspect all and have a body shop fix before the salt and snow. Welcome to the club. My E36 328 did this along the hood edges.
