Bummer! I'm not a body man, but a buddy of mine is a great body man. I had this problem with my 75' bird. To fix it right, you got to remove the glass. The rot is under the glass also. Just repairing the places you see is not going to last. Water will enter under the glass, and rot your floor pan. We used fiberglass to repair the rot. Avoid using cheap bondo, as it retains water, and will start the rot again. Check it out with a local body man.
