That seem is a trouble spot. I have seen otherwise nice paint jobs ruined by
re occurring rust there. I separated that seem to do roof transplant. I had
a large sun roof I didn't want on my three window so I transplanted a 5
window top. I would not do it again, too much work. You can only access that
seem by removing all the inside metal. This means drilling out a bazzilion
spot welds. A look at the factory assay manual is worth a thousand words.
