Default Metal support frame of tailgate glass window

Anyone else had problems with rust in the above area - both externally and, I think, on the inside?

Default Tailgate window frame rust

I have a spare tailgate window which I picked up a few years ago. The hardest thing, which I haven't managed to do yet is separate the metal frame from the glass. Part of the frame has separated from the glass but there still remains
a massive application of black bituminous-type adhesive still bonding the two together.

Other owners have had problems with the elements 'corroding' where they emerge from the hidden bus-bars, still under the metal frame.

I'll avoid that method then . I don't think my frame is beyond saving. At least I hope not - ALL the heated elements work perfectly , something of a novelty on tourers perhaps.

Without removing the glass from the frame, will injecting an anti-rusting agent to the inside of the frame cause any damage to electrical circuit of the elements? Anyone any experience of doing this?

Cheers,

Dave
