Is rust in the interior like this normal?

I can't tell from pics, but is the windshield original OEM glass? I have seen stuff like this and worse happen when chain glass places send out the newb to replace windshield, they cut and seal with a blade and cut into paint on outside of pillar, then a few years later you have pillar cancer.

That's another possibility I was considering. I'm just going to paint and seal it and see if it comes back.

Looks to me like your rust is a little too deep to just paint over. I'd try some naval jelly (or similar) since space is restricted.

BTW, is there a way to tell if a windshield is OEM?

Don't know if it's still required but older glass has to have a "bug" etched into it with manufacturer and other info. In bottom right corner, IIRC.

Edit: Checked my 2014 Challenger and it has a bug in the lower right corner. Door windows have the bug on bottom rear.
