C30 main door black trim flaking and bubbling

Anyone else experiencing or has experienced this and know how to solve? Seems impossible to fix without removing the glass? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi Dave,
I have seen a number of these doors that all had that happen to them when I was looking for my boat. When I found my boat it had a clean door frame and i was thinking that it was bad coating or a lack of cleaning and washing that was letting the corrosion build up.
I have been freshwater rinsing the door itself and the frame every time. so far I have little to no corrosion. But I saw that on 3 boats that I inspected.

couldn't you tape the door glass and go at the corrosion with a good sander and scraper? Then spray it with flat black paint?
I have been trying to prevent it from happening but I may be delaying the inevitable?

My door on our 2014 R27 Classic had similar issues. I removed the whole assembly (three pieces, interior frame, exterior frame, and door) sanded, primed and repainted last winter. Not perfect, but I learned a lot! Next time I will use high build primer to make a really smooth surface. It looks like your door is different than mine and may need the glass removed, I can’t really tell from the photo. The door frames are aluminum and this sort of corrosion seems common or older boats. I sure an automotive paint shop can deal with it if you are not willing.
