Bought the extended warranty ONE TIME. On a used Chrysler Sebring  rag top (everybody needs at least one convertible in their life) Must a been thru Chrysler. We had a rain leak (they fixed it) some sortuva squeak that ONLY Ms Sally could hear and they fixed it too.
Usually they are a rip......

Dis-connect..................end of guessing ...hmmmm is it the choke...is it trash..etc. It will tell you A LOT about what's going on.

I always 'manned-up' and disconnected the choke.
"You live in the South boy we don't need no stink'in lecterk choke and all down hee-ah...."

Who'da thunk  FIFTY-FOUR years ago......when I was a strapping 17/18 year old...looking through the Ford dealership window..that I would have one of the "new Mustangs" all cammed up with open headers.... driving it around town enjoying 'the-fruits-of-my-labor' as it were !!
I was probably listening to the hit song......Funny how Time just Slips Away by Billy Walker.
I darn sure wasn't looking around for gasoline under 350 per gal. !!
(Heck...I sold a car because "I refuse to pay 50 cent a gallon for hi-test gas")

Personally, I'd use a piece of cardboard the same size as the plate that's taped to the underside, 

Gee John.........cardboard won't add much strength at all !!

Ya could use blue painter's tape on one piece and dab black paint on those titties (I can't believe I used that word!!) and put them together transferring the black marks from the TITTIES !!

Wish my 'winderz' fit that good !
I had to compromise and I leave the window down just a crack on the DS. Once door is shut I give the handle a twist and it seals out the air leaks as well as a hardtop can seal 'em. The only time I get a whistle is when the wind blows hard on the side of the car (or a big truck passes) I get a little noise.
(They will never seal up as well as a sedan...)

Couple-a question to axe of yourself......you plan on selling the car ?
                                                                does it have carpet and mats on the floor?
                                                                is it an EVERYDAY driver or mainly a weekend cruiser/show car?       
                                                                has the rust compromised the integrity and strength of the car?
ME/I would clean the spot back to good solid metal... using some sheet metal as thick as (or a little thicker) than the stock
                                                                                      stuff and lap weld the daylights out of it. (maybe climb under the car
                                                                                      if ya feel guilty and smear some RTV or spray bedliner on it and call
                                                                                      it good)                                                                                   
                                                                                   
                                                                                      By the time it rust back through again.you will be too old to drive...
                                                                                       Any future buyer prolly won't notice it or even know what you did.(OR
                                                                                      care) Why put your-self through the torture of butt-welding it..YOMV
