Lead spots question

That’s a good question. I’d be concerned about rust under the lead. There is a spot near the A-Pillar on the cowl of my replacement top where I melted out a little lead before I decided to just remove the top with the cowl attached. Now I don’t know if I should just melt it out and use metal strips and filler, or try to fill it with new lead. The lead on the opposite side is still intact. There was a fair amount of surface rust under that area, but it didn’t appear to have gone beyond that.
