The van has an amazingly thick black rubber coating on the underside of the entire van, I have to check the sides of the van wall edge. Thanks for the info. Overall I think I will check behind the existing seams for further rust if they are not already covered with the black rubber coating. Then I will use the POR15 coating, then the resin filler patch they have, then finally sand it down the spray it with POR15 Silver topcoat spray. I am hoping this will keep the rust out for a while. Thanks for everyone's input. Ps was the list serv down over the weekend? I did not any emails... -- Rob NYC/Long Beach, NY 88 Wolfsburg, Silver
