Default Cab issue

Hi everybody so I just noticed today where one of the cab mounts holds up into place the one right underneath the back seat on the left side is starting to lose where it mounts on top it looks almost like its starting to cave in. How would one go about fixing this? All the other mounts look pretty good, but this one looks pretty bad. Kind of makes sense because the rear door doesn't line up with the cab correctly and does take in water sometimes depending on how hard its raining.

So it just needs a piece of steel to be welded in place of the rust? I've never had an issue with the cab itself or mounts before throughout the past 4-5 years I've had the truck so not very familiar with this. Does the whole cab need to come off?

You could probably just loosen up the bolts, and lift it up a bit, and do it that way. (take out the one where the problem is.)

Loosen all the cab mounts take the one that is the problem completely out, Jack the cab up, drill out the spot welds, weld the new one in. That's about it
