Rust In rear doors.

[PBding]

Hmmm, my rhs appears to be a stainless one but has a slight rust discolouration that you sometimes see, have not checked Lhs, am worried that might not have replaced rubber correctly.. Maybe it's not the screw that's rusting but the frame with the oxidisation spreading over the screw as it sometimes does.

As shown in the pic below I have today discovered rust in both my rear doors behind the door rubbers. Car is going in for a service tomorrow and a warranty repair for a SRS warning light issue and I'll get them to have a look at the rust.

So what are MMA gonna do? Hopefully repair to new condition? Nothing less
Cheers

One dealer has looked at it an cleaned it and ordered new screws, think I'll get a second opinion though.

Just discovered rust in my rear drivers side door also. Again it's just that one screw badly rusted. Passenger side looks like brand new still. Sorry about the dodgy photo but you get the idea. Screw head is just a swollen lump of rust.

18 months out of warranty so not holding my breath Mitsubishi will do anything. Be interesting if the Electronic Rust mob will do anything under their guarantee.

Hopefully I've found it before it is anything more than a clean up and a new screw.

Might be worth you all having a look again also.

Great finding this old thread ... guess a lot of us will be checking our vehicles ..

I do also remember refitting left rear upper door seal a few yrs ago ...

Could the grade of stainless be cheap and nasty ???
