4runner pillar rust... Am I missing something?

[GAS-A-LOT!]

Day two at the shop... It is supposed to be ready by tomorrow.
Welding any holes that need fixin... They are supposed to prime and paint before adding the windshield no? I've been in such a rush that I just cared that hes "going to fix it". Its a reputable place so I not worried but u know... Will be calling them tomorrow.

the same thing is going on with my previa... the pillars aren't as bad as yours, but the roof part is just the same as yours... a shop had to fix this for me too... not sure they really did a good job though

seems like it's common on old toyotas

Turns out that the windshield was loose on that side.completely. And was loosening up around the other corner. After sanding all around, it was mostly surface. Holes on the passenger pillar but that's it. I will be pulling the inner trim after I'm done with the mechanical issues to do the audio/video/cb radio to get a better look.

Mostly dirt on the lower side. I was able to scrape it off so that was good.
