Default Rust protection
I live in Ohio with all the snow. Under my doors are starting to bubble. I want to fix this problem before they rust through. Any ideas ?

Too late to try and save what is there. You need to cut the bad metal out and replace it with new metal.

Start by seeing if they have the drain plugs in them and removing them if so. First thing I do to doors when I get a new vehicle

That is about all you can do, no way around it.

Yep, there is usually WAY more rust than you see by the time it has bubbled through paint. The only "cure" is to cut the cancer out completely.
