Default See inside cab corners?

Is it possible to see the condition of the inside of my cab corners? From what I've read most of these trucks rust from the inside out. I recently bought a Black 07' Lariat Super Crew that has solid cab corners on the outside. No paint bubbling or anything. However, I'm curious to see the inside of them to see whether I should expect to see rust coming through in the near future. Thanks.

Default Cab corners

Open your door on each side of truck and look down in between door and body. Use a flashlight, you cant see much of them but youll be able to see if there's rust. I spray mine with fluid film every once in a while.

Make sure the drains on the bottom are open.

Do I need to remove any trim panels to see in? I took a brief look but all I see is carpet.

I definitely will when the weather warms up. Where are they located?
