I have a 90 model wagon with some rust under the rear lower weatherstrip and have been able to get all the other trim off from around the bottom how do i do it?

where are you talking about? under the rear side windows glass behind the black plastic strip? They all rust there, every little bit of crap you get in your gutter ends up stuck in behind that plastic.
Start from the rear. open the tailgate, and slide in a screwdriver under the plastic part and pop it out. Then continue along the
plastic part.
I sanded mine all back, welded up a small hole that was there and then had it resprayed. Looks OK now
Another spot to look for rust is under the rubber seal where your tailgate meets the body, near the latch. Crap gets flicked up inside the rer bumper, and ends up under this seal. Mine had some surface rust there nothing serious thankfully.
