The only way this area will ever rust is if the FI computer is not installed correctly or if the rear door seal is shot. The door seal is an obvious thing, but almost no one knows that the computer mounting plate has two spring clips that pull it snugly against the bodywork and seal the opening. These are 100% incorrectly installed. Unless you KNOW what I'm talking about and installed your computer yourself, each of you should put this on your immediate to-do list.
