More Rust!

Here is another irritating place for corrosion to begin! This is the lower rear corner of the rear doors. There seems to be a split in the rubber here and over time I guess it lets water in, and of course the rubber will then retain it with all the salts and various electrolytes.....lovely.


Urgh!

This one is a real pain because to do the job properly you would need to remove the door furniture. You take this to your average bodywork specialist and he'll look at you as if you came in on his shoe!

Well, the simplest thing to do is to use a touch up paint here and do it yourself. Make sure you get the area clean, and treat it with rust remover.

Two coats of primer; one coat of touch up paint and a final coat of laquer if you have a metallic finish.

Don't expect a perfect job though...unless you are very clever at this sort of thing. Also, make sure you get under the rubber with the new paint.

It'll last two or three years and then you will have to do it again!
