Rust above windscreen - options/effectiveness?
Hi,
My car has developed its first bodywork rust and it is immediately above the windscreen. I spotted this for the first time today whilst washing slowly by hand - usually I use a manual car wash and spray it. There was plenty of snow here last winter which perhaps was a factor. What can I do about this?
I don’t want it getting worse and ideally I want it fixing. I feel like this might need to go to a body shop but would they be able to effectively treat it? If the windscreen needed to come out and the whole roof resprayed this could be cost prohibitive.
Opinions appreciated
Thanks
Andy

I had rust like that on my D3, not quite as bad but was there for 4 or 5 years and never got any worse after I discovered it. Engine gave up well before the rust got to the stage of something needing done. If it was me I’d just learn to live with it and ignore it.
