if its the rear window then it won't be minor. 🙅
Customer service is not dead in Australia.

Always after HAZET & MATRA & VW factory tools

remove the engine and sound deading B4 you get the rust done

and before you give to the panel shop remove the FOAM sound dead material up in the rear pillar
it will make a much better job u need a hook rod to pull it all out both sides

after you have got the foam out get some CRC carby cleaner and spray in the cavity a few times to disolve the residue of foam sticking to the walls of the cavity
