Default 2nd gen door rust

Im on my second ram.. first was a 97 short box 4x4 and at 40,000 miles the bottom of the doors started rusting. Dodge actually replaced the doors under warranty. Now im on my second ram a 2000 ext cab with the off-road package. And guess what the friggen doors are starting to rust. They are rusting from the inside out. I am way beyond factory warranty , but damn this seems to be a common occurance. Any one else had this issue and what did you do? Replace doors, skins or what?

Fairly standard... The bottoms of both my doors are toast. I had figgered on picking up a couple used units from the junkyard, reconditioning them, and putting 'em on. I was considering using some spray on bed liner on the INSIDE of the doors, and then clearing the drain holes. Should solve the problem permanently.

common.. My doors are toast too and I am searching for a good set.

Out here, if you see someone with a good set of doors.. they either just moved here from the south or just replaced them. The quad cab passenger always seem to be the worst
