surface rust inside vents

I have a '71 Super Beetle, I recently discovered minor surface rust inside of the vent that is located above the engine and below the back window. It isn't noticeable unless I look through the vent (can't be seen from just looking at the back of the car) Is there something I can spray in the vent to prevent further rust?

This would probably do the trick.

If you don't want to order that, take a trip to your hardware store and they should have something similar.

Internal Frame Coating destroys rust hiding inside the chassis, so it doesn’t rust its way through

Thanks for the suggestions. Is there an easy way to get inside of the vent?
