That won't rust through in 25 years. Hell, I doubt it would in a life time. there is nothing holding moisture there to continue the process. Surface rust can appear after one brief exposure to moisture but deep structural rust requires a near constant exposure.
Oh, I am aware normal people can accomplish that...I just tend to get in a hurry and break stuff and make it worse lol.

I once broke my windshield when I was taking off my windshield wipers on the old MR2 to re-paint them.

I will never forget doing that...because my Wife knows about it...and she reminds me lol.

But yeah, I was just cautioning against being too aggressive.
