rust

[jamie16v]

is it common for rust to occur behind the rear light clusters?...

[Mikester]

Not that im aware of, but it does get damp around there if the rubber on the lights perishes. I do try and clean behind there whenever possible.

Yeah its quite common (both of my last 2 have had rust issues there and this one has some surface crazyness!).... and as long as its stopped there shouldnt be an issue later on (well apart from painting the area after wards as it really should be a full panel job!!)

stand corrected.......

You learn new things everyday on this site!! 

oh yeah How often do you remove your lights to clean behind them?? sounds a bit too Guy with his o.c.d to me 

[Mikester]

Not that often. Like ive only done it twice since i have had the mk3. Once when i smoked the lights..... and once when i replaced a bulb....... lol
