You will really need to get to the metal and treat the rust with an anti-rust solution.

Although I own a 1999 Corolla, I wouldn't know how much that kind of repair work would cost. My best estimate would either be P4000 to P5000 since you will need to repaint the entire roof and remove/reinstall the windshield to do the work properly.

Grind down the rust to bare metal using a grinder power tool

Treat with rust converter

Apply body filler, sand down when dry.

Apply primer

Apply spraycan paint, or have it painted.
