...and here's what I just did with them (see attachments).

Before welding the pieces in I primed the oxidized bare metal surfaces with Oxy-Solve rust converter, then brushed on some POR-15 to seal it.

One more patch in the left side, and the rust is fixed.

Yeah, while I had pieces cut out of the rear window corners, I could see how and why they rusted out in the first place. Stiff foam traps water away from it's core, next to the metal.

I made a hook out of a barbecue skewer and tore it all out before I welded the new pieces in place. Everything I could touch with a paintbrush got oxy-solved, and POR-15'd inside.
