sc windshield frame corrosion

I am about to change the windshield seal on my 79 SC. I don't have a garage so I will have limited time to do the job start to finish. I have read a million articles and watched even more videos to prepare as much as possible to do it right. i did it once about 20 years ago with a friend with car restoration experience and it was miserable. We didn't even know about the rope method. So my question is what is the best method of repair if I find rust damage on a sealing surface? Is it bondo or JB weld and sand to a smooth sealing surface, if it is light damage? I have searched and not found much on this even using a google search for pelican.
Thanks
Adam

Cut it out and replace if your going to bother with it. Do it once and right. If its salvageable grind or blast rust to bare metal, prime with a 2k epoxy or etching primer, then topcoat. If Metal is too far gone you can purchase replacement sheet metal.

POR 15 seals up surface-type rust, if that's what you are dealing with.
