Rear wheel rocker rust hole!

[rwh963]

Just noticed a hole in the lower inner front of the rear wheel well. One side has it, one side does not. There is debris that was washed inside it. Recommended course of action? Gonna try and scrape out and dry the rocker interior, and at least temporarily seal the hole with some roof/window flashing sticky material.

Can't seem to add a pic although it is only 3.9 mb.

Can you wire brush the area, prime (something that will inhibit future rust, I use rustoleum) and then patch?

I would suggest using a rust converter (Eastwood Rust Converter is one) after a good cleaning, it will convert the rust and seal the area, then paint it with a good paint for further protection.
