My experience is that if there's a small bubble and a hole...

It requires some skill to fix the hole with metal and it isn't necessarily easily accessible to repair with POR 15 and fiberglass. It will be someone else's problem. I have too many cars and can't drive them all.

Regardless, I'm glad the URO door seals fit. I need to track down the plastic nails that hold the metal and seal on the front of the door. They measure 5mm in diameter. They may be available from MBZ or I'll use a substitute from anywhere.
...I suspect you'll find a some more rust after you remove the trim and glass. That was my experience.
