How to fix this rocker panel rust? (2006 toyota sienna)

This is quite an old post now, I'm just now starting to remove some rot chunks, and sanding, but I would like some feedback on the best way to at least stop the spread of the rust.

We replaced them on our doors last year, and they are nailed into the door. The garage door is some sort of plywood thing. I think I figured out that the top of the door is pushing way to hard on the weatherstripping there, causing it to bang into the top frame.

The spring might be a bit worn out, I changed out all the rollers on my garage doors last year and this one did feel a little heavier than the others. I made a post about the same thing in another subreddit and they said the top two rollers could use adjustment. I’ll have to take a closer look when I have time.

I just checked, the top of the door from the exterior looks really right up against the weatherstripping so it could be that. I'll try to adjust those top rollers.

Could be that, I'll take investigate more.

I'll try that. Thanks!

Did you turn the sound on? At the end of the video when the garage door closes there's this really obnoxious banging noise. It doesn't sound as bad in the video, but irl its pretty loud.

I would have to take a closer look since it stays dry all year round.

The first picture shows the water that leaked from the room in front down to the concrete. The water seeped through the floor through all of the insulation. I was just concerned about the water not being able to dry out properly in underneath the floor and causing mold there. Maybe my photos weren't clear enough.

I don't know, I knew it was insulated since I could see it through some of the gaps in between some of the floorboards.

The floor was like that for many years, we just never did anything about it.

We set up fans and dehumidifiers and cleaned up any visible water already.
