Question Rust Warranty Coverage

Noticed today that the paint on my rear door (driver's side) is starting to bubble in a two places. As of right now the patches are small, approximately an inch or so long and a half-inch high, and located at the bottom of the door (where they are barely visible unless you really look for them). My question is whether the dealer will handle this on warranty? I know if I leave these patches to their own devices I will be screwed. The warranty mentions something about "rust perforation" being covered. Is this rust perforation that I'm experiencing? Thanks for any and all responses.

It's an 03 TL-S with 51K. Yeah, I know, why is it rusting at all given the year and mileage? The rust warranty is 5 years unlimited mileage, and the car was a certified used car (bought this past November)...

Thanks. That's what I'll do when I take it in next month.
