well your best bet would be to sneak on the inside there pop the rear panel off to gain access to the top of that figure out a way to get rid of the rust for 1 next would be to get some rivets and drill some holes with some sheet metal dosent have to be majorly thick just enough to cover the hole and then some then smoothe out the area with some bondo and you should be good.....
or the cheap copout is to pop off the rear panel and fiberglass it.....but im not tellign you to do that lol

unless you cut the bad areas out and properly weld in new sheet metal, it will return.
A temporary solution would be fiberglass, probably the easiest too.

I think it would deteriorate over time....

dynomat will be a pretty half ass solution, but it will cover the hole. that area is not exactly easy to get to from the inside of the car though. The rust will continue to spread.
It will help keep water from entering.
