RUST - edge of the boot
« on: 22 August 2009, 01:20 »
Hi,

Ive noticed at the edge of the boot ( the very edge, theres abit of rust where the paint has chipped)

is this common?

now i know vw has a 12 year guarantee, anyone used this? my car is a 2000 model so still covered

the rust is very slight, im thinking of taking it down there.

regards

Mac

Not common really. Has the car had a light rear ender at some point or a new tailgate for any reason??
Rust on panels on a Mk4 are normally due to non genuine panels and paint being used to repair bodywork

not that i can tell matey.
its not that bad at the moment, just a little that runs down the ridge, where the paint has broken. think im gonna keep my eye on it for now and pray it dont get worse.

if it does, maybe look out for a new tail gate or a visit to a bodyshop
