Default Just bought 2005 S40 T5 Turbo. Roof ditch rust question

It's a 2.5L I5

I bought this nice looking 2005 for $2050 149000 miles on it. The roof ditch on both sides of the roof were rusty and I am wondering if there is supposed to be rubber or seam sealer in those grooves or if anyone else has this problem?

Are there any other typical rust areas on these S40 cars?

Nice looking car and the price is very good. I have had 2 '05 V50 and have not had rust issues with either one.

I was lucky enough to win an auction on Ebay of all places. The cars interior is just as nice. Ran an AUTOCHECK on it and no major issues with 3 owners and it's always been a Florida car. It was surface rust.
