This is the number one post the comes up when you put a search in google on rust roof and expedition. I wanted to include my solution in case others wanted options. For me, Durabak solved my issues, but also heavy rust abatement...
Just a quick progress update. It's been almost 6 months now and we're heading into winter. So far, the roof continues to withstand all that mother nature can throw at her which isn't much since it doesn't rain much in SD but we've had some rain here and there and so far, no leaks.
Update - It's been about 3 weeks but we finally had a bit of rain overnight. Gave me a chance to see if there were any leaks and there were none. Hopefully, it will be this way for the the remainder of my ownership!

New member here, but thought I would contribute by documenting my diagnosis and treatment of what appears to be a common issue with 2nd gen expeditions, roof rust. To be honest, I've been dealing with this problem for about 5 years, but in the past month decided to take the deepest dive I could...
