Are you, or did you, putting anything on the bare metal edge of the cutout? I'm guessing you have treated it with something. But just in case you didn't, you should. I had a conversion van that the conversion company, Waldoch, cut the big bay windows in and didn't do anything to the metal edge. Rusted out pretty fast along the bottom edge. I'll never buy another Waldoch van, nor would I recommend them to anybody. My present conversion van, built by Explorer, used the factory long windows. What a great idea. No metal cutting and everything is designed to not rust out.
