So basically im here because about 4 months ago i noticed my paint begining to flake under driverside fender lip. So i thought ill keep an eye on it and hopefullly it wont show metal for a year or two. However after the good ol salt got at her, it has been rapidly progressing to the point a small piece of paint has come off and bare metal is beginning to rust. Creeping from the underlip of fender to a more visible part on fender. Thus looking god awful. Car is a 2011 with 86000km and i am second owner.
I have taken great care of my candy white paint, by using iron x, cleaner wax, polish, regularily hand washed and dryed by me (etc.).
Pretty Pisssed! Went to a body shop ive been to before and was advised its best to replace whole fender, that sucks.
I made a app. at local dealer to see if the 12yr corrosion warranty can help me at all. I doubt it! Basically im just wondering if anyone else is experiencing rust, i fell it is way to early for this to be occurring.
I have noticed it on many other vw's though in the exact same spot, mostly the rabbits from before 2010. It really has left a bad taste in my mouth, and almost makes me want to re-considor a VW.
Lets see your pics?
How should i deal with this?
Thanks!
