The vinyl traps water between the vinyl and the metal... therefore it is a prime place to rust.

Most Nova's rust from the inside out on the doors so once the surface of the paint breaks its bye bye doors. On my old SR one door was full of filler from a previous owner and the other was bascially held together by the vinyl.
