Default Can you get rid of rust around sunroof PROPERLY?

Hi.
My Escort RS turbo has started bubbling around the rear of the sunroof.
I want to get rid, but don't want to bodge anything.
Has anyone every managed to do a good job with it before and if so, how do I go about it....
If it needs to go into a bodyshop and cost me a fortune, then so be it.
I just want a 100% job doing.
Any advice on work or parts required would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Not really. They rot form the inside out, so take out the sunroof cassette and take a look in the hole. Or don't actually, you'll be shocked
