Hi everyone!
I have an absolute CREAMPUFF of a 1995 HDJ81. Single owner, non smoking and garaged for life. Full service records to boot, 150K (KMs) from Miyazaki japan. Non cold spec.
I thought I didn't have any major rust, being that the whole vehicle is so clean and original. That is until I saw a small bulge on the front corner of my right side cargo window. Once I lifted the rubber seal, I almost fainted.
I found some cancer brewing under the seal, Picture is attached. After I removed and flushed out some flakes, I dont think that I have any perforation, but the windows are coming out ASAP to treat it now that I have found this.
What causes rust on this area on so many JDM 80 series with fixed cargo windows? I have seen a few more with the same trouble area.
PICS:
MODS, PLEASE RELOCATE TO ANOTHER SECTION IF IT IS INCORRECT. THANKS!!
