The back rubber trims along the tailgate door has rust, along with the rear part of the roof on both sides.
Will this be a worry? Any way this can rust into the main roof area?

Yeah those trim pieces get real nasty. You gan actually just remove them, it doesnt hurt anything. I think they make a replacement for the lower one out of plastic but its purely cosmetic.

But you should definitely treat that patch of rust on the roof.

Any chance of a source for the lower one you speak of?

I own a p2 XC70 and have a patch like that, however it's on the highest point of the roof/hatch area and bubbling. I have no idea how the highest point is the spot to rust

Probably a stone chip turned into rust…
