I take it this post was out of frustration because if you have to ask you likely don't have the tools or knowledge to do it yourself. Not saying you can't learn, but my experience says you won't.

White duct tape should do the job. Plus when it gets bigger you can add more tape!

The best option is to take it to an auto body repair shop. Don't be surprised if it's $500+ to fix it.

Best way to fix, cut and weld. They do sell that section real easy fix. Cheap down and dirty fix, sand it clean it fill it with bondo.. Good luck,,

Cheaper way is to just take a grinder, cut out the piece of rust, then take some sheet metal, cut the same piece, plus an extra inch per side, paint it, and then rivet it on. Simple and easy.
