Rust call that RUST!!!
You don't know what Rust is until you have had a FIAT for 20 years

hi sorry to put a downer on things was the door replaced ? if not the rust will come back in a very short time once the door has been reskined no matter how well you have resealed it wax oiled it , zinc sprayed the frame before fitting a new skin, i know i have fitted hundreds , rust always comes thru along the bottem edge, thats way car makers like bmw vw don`t make replacement door skins , your best bet next time is to get a good second hand door, as for all these rust cures you can by , there like that good old snake oil

Well... it has lasted a minimum of 3 years that I know of, quite possibly a lot longer. If it lasts another 3 years I won't complain.
