there is a product that you can get at home depot, it prevents rust from happening, and it help repair rust. The product should be by the glues (in the paint department) I fI am not mistaken the product is make by loc-tyte (sp) they both are small spray cans. One can has a white top, the other can has a black top. Look at both and decide from there.

I've been taking my 1996 Cavalier two-door apart and am getting a pretty good idea where these suckers rust (at least up here in Canada).

I've got the hood off, the front fenders removed, the bumper supports and skins (front and back), the underlying plastic panel thingies, etc., and the car looks good from the front back until you hit the back of the car (underneath the heavy rear bumper support).

The flat, vertical panel at the back (that connects the floor pan, the rear quarters, holds the trunk latch, etc.) is rusted from half way down to the bottom (especially around the points where the sub frames butt up to it where it's spot welded together).

Other than the back panel, things look pretty decent. I guess a lot of snow and salt collect between the back panel and the bumper support, at least from what I see.

Regards.
