If you are in the Seattle area I can help you with that.  I often do
complete rust repairs also, with the fridge taken out, etc.  And replace all
the insulations with Second Skin or the likes.  The insulation is the
culprit really.  It absorbs the water and won't let go, keeping the seam
well at all times.
