W210 Wagon rear window rust spot repair?

How would you experts go about fixing this rust spot before it gets worse? It is the only place in the car I can find any signs of rust. I was thinking it would have to go to a body shop but maybe there is a DIY fix?

Here is a pic:

Pull the window out, then repair and refinish. Of course the emblem will have to be removed, along with all other trim and emblems.

On the PITA scale, how hard is removing the rear window? For example I'd rate a brake flush a 2/10 and the motor mounts a 8/10. Rear window maybe a 5?

I am not positive, but imagine that window is urethened in,,, not good for the DIY. Has to be cut out and reinstalled with the proper adhesives. We have a glass company come in and do all our urethene jobs.
