Is this normal for the later ones and if so what is differnt that makes them rust there. None of the cars had rust anywhere else, including the floorpan and behind the front fenders." This sounds like it might be the same problem that the late bug has. Sometime before '74 (ask me how I know), VW began shooting expanding foam into the cavity just below the rear windows, I think to prevent noise from passing from the engine compartment forward. I don't know if the same reasoning would apply to the fast. But if there's foam behind that panel, I'd say that's the reason. There's a lesson there for those thinking of shooting some expanding foam of their own.
