    Go to a bodyshop and get it done professionally. Will need chopping out.

    I very much doubt it's surface rust if it's hiding behind a side skirt.

    Well, they are only held in with clips and lugs. If you look on the underside of the sill, you'll see about 5 of them. These need to be removed. The skirt needs to be eased off the clips. You wont break the skirt, but you may break the clips. They are cheap and easy to replace anyway and are only clipped onto rivets.
