You will find a lot of rust when you remove your rear window. The lip at the point it has rusted will almost certainly be non-existant. Really new metal needs letting in after cutting out and then painting it all well before refitting. I suspect that you have the early estate with big bumpers. On the later ones the design of the rubber was altereed and also a drain hole incorporated in the metal work.

The old rubber should be re-useable still with using a suitable non-setting mastic.
