Default rust question?

<center><img src="http://www.shorki.com/gallery/albums/audi/IMGP0532.jpg"></center><p>Before i annoy the owner, this is not a picture of my car its shorki's - i just nicked the picture!

I haven't got my camera available right now so this is the best image i could find to help illustrate my problem.

On the rear door, just above the handle in the actual window section is a triangular shaped piece of metal that is a high gloss black. This is the single bit that has rust bubbles on it that i just noticed.

My question is this: is this small piece detachable from the door itself and so could i go to a dealership and get a replacement bit fitted? Or is it more serious?

TIA

Default yes the small piece is detachable, and you can purchase a new piece from dealer

from inside there is a cover you remove that and behind is a screw that holds that that piece attached to door, remove the bolt and piece comes out.. you can repaint it or buy it new..

Left outer is 8D9 853 273 C
Right outer is 8D9 853 274 C
