I was doing a fall cleanup/detailing on my `03 Windstar`s interior, and took off the threshold cover plates in the front doors. There is a metal beam across the doorway that you can see is quite corroded.
Here`s some bubbling paint in the door jamb as well. Great.
I just moved from Northern New York state and the van has been through two severe winters. I have wiped off the metal with light soapy water and then rinsed to try to neutralize whatever`s in there (likely calcium carbonate road salt and water from shoes over the doorway countless times). Should I be concerned that this beam is going to deteriorate further? I have moved to central VA (Richmond/Petersburg area), where the winters are much less severe but still have some snow/ice.
