This is certainly a problem area, but I believe it has more to do 
with rust-through at the front of the rear wheel wells.  This lets 
water into that area on both sides, but only on the right does the 
water have a tight spot where it can stay for a long period.  I don't 
think the rubber will help, but oil/tar/rustproofing probably will, 
and caulking up the rust through areas will do the most good.
