Rusted Heater channels


The continuing saga of rust repair...

My heater channels have rusted through from the side of the car near the
font of the door, forming three inch holes on either side.  In addition,
there are rust spots around several of the holes where the rocker trim?
clips plug in.  I was thinking of fiberglassing all of these holes,
sanding/cutting away as much rust as possible.  My questions are 1) will
the hot air react with or melt the fiberglass or create fumes in some way
and 2) what is the best way to treat the rust that has formed along the
inside of the channels, particularly next to the pan and along the channel
where it can not be seen or reached for sanding?  I assume that sealing it
up w/out some king of rustproofing or treatment would be a bad idea.
