I pointed the rust out to my dealer yesterday (when there for another issue).

They hinted that they'd maybe seen it before, but it wasn't an issue and was just surface rust - admittedly, mine wasn't as bad as the photos in the original thread.

It has all been cleaned off and looks fine again, although I will be keeping an eye on it periodically. Worry is that there is more rust under the tape/rubber, or down inside the seam.

There is none on my 5 door on bits of metal I can see by moving the rubbers. Ther is some tape behind there, should I peel that back to look?

okehciv · 4th April 2008, 13:11

smurf79 · 4th April 2008, 19:10

depends how brave you are...

If you peel it back, it might not stick down again - but then if you peel it back and find rust...

I'm in the "if I can't see it, it can't be there!" camp myself, but...

Yes, Type-S 07.

Bob H · 5th April 2008, 15:32

Munro · 7th April 2008, 17:49

Mines OK, but it is only 6 months old.

Tiny bit of rust on both doors.

Not impressed.

Exactly, after a few months of ownership, a new car shouldn't rust (I have checked behind every seal and around every bolt, not a trace of rust anywhere else!!!!! So it is B*ll*cks that it occurs all over the car!). Also had a word with a friend who does mechanics in his spare time and he agrees he'd be worried about where else was rusting and how would it affect car safety (i.e. impact safety) in a few years!

Getting it serviced next week so that is down on the snag list.

I'm just slightly concerned that a small patch of rust will, over time, turn into a much larger patch of rust and then a nasty looking hole....

Unknownsoldier · 8th April 2008, 09:58

Exactly and if it somewhere like a door then what damage will it cause.

IanG · 8th April 2008, 14:18

No on Type R ............But it's only 4 weeks old so I would hope not

elisgriffiths · 12th April 2008, 19:01

robbo51 · 15th April 2008, 13:01

So I've coated the area with some Motorcycle chain wax

AndyC · 15th April 2008, 13:34
