Other Rust!

I opened the door on my 6 month old ivtech ex, to notice specs of rust forming, my thought right now is why has my 6 month old car got the first signs of rust forming

Was it underneath the door where the rubber bungs used to be (drain holes)or in the door step area you discovered the corrosion?!

when you open the door i could se on the bottom of the door seal the rust stuck to it, i thought it may also be due to the rubber bungs but they are all in place, just tiny specs, ill try get pics soon

customer service dont seem to call me back anymore. not pleased.

Rust on rubber?

Pics needed I think.

May only be the dreaded dryed wax injection overflow from the drip holes.
If it comes off with a bit of spirit ( not white spirit as it makes rubber go sticky), then its not rust.

I'd whip one or two of the bungs out too, while you're there

Mine had that, removed the bungs and the rust specs or whatever it was that looked like rust polished off so it may not be as bad as it seems.
