At some point, either the windshield was replaced with the wrong sealing product, or you just live in an area known for rust. The sealer will not stick to the rust, and you only option is to pull the windshield, and sand it down, and hope there is enough metal to bond correctly.... OR, to weld in a new piece of windshield channel. As far as the seals go, your going to have to call around to all the windshield companies in your area, and see if you can locate someone local that has the windshield, and seals, in stock, or can get them. Thats really the only options. You must fix the rust, as the windshield sits in a location, that inbetween the baking sun, rain/snow and other environmental effects, it will only get worse, and at a very speedy rate. Although only the first 7 minutes are directly related to your question, later in the video, he goes into detail about the other things that you may not have even thought about for damage (carpets, EVAP, etc).

Just plain white vinegar. Then just sprinkle in salt till you see bubbles. You might not want to do it in a container you care about. The rust could turn it yellow.

Not really sure I'd want to invest in a salt belt car unless it has been treated to a pampered life. an untreated car = rust? = stay away from it where do we begin? Gen 1 car Rocker boxes, bottom of the doors, rear quarters (especially drivers side in & around the fuel filler), rear suspension up behind the fuel tank, rear brake lines, fuel evap piping at rear of vehicle, engine cradle suspension bushings, rear trailing arm chassis boxes, rear bumper rebar, heater core return piping (passenger side in behind wheel), radiator support (bottom of rad), bottom of the front fenders behind wheels, front strut spring seats rot, exhaust rot....... anything else?
