Rust Bubbles full of water underneath paint
Just noticed a few spots along the rocker panels that have bubbled up. I poked a hole in a few with my knife and water came out. Any ideas how this water could be getting underneath the paint? It's a 2012 extended cab, which I didn't think had rusting issues at the cab corners (usually only happens in crew cabs). I plan on applying a coat of bed liner along the rockers this summer when I get some time but would like to address the bubbles first.

I'm not sure exactly what the rockers look like on the Extended Cabs, but on the Screws there is adhesive tape covering holes that you can flush out with water. Once you do that you'll see how much sand and crap is coming out.

I'm not sure I want to see how bad it is I'll take a look this afternoon.

Any ideas on the best way to address the repair?

Scratch that. Rockers are shot. Pushed my finger through the passenger side today. Didn't really expect that on a 2012.

A buddy of mine had his rockers go in his 2011 Screw last year. He lives down a dirt road and goes off roading often so his rockers were most likely filled with dirt. You're probably looking at $1500 give or take to get them taken care of. I also doubt it's covered under your warranty.
