do you have rust?

[kowalski]

haya to yua all!!!!

here in europe (sweden) allmost all mercs were recalled cuz of body rust so even my baby benz C43 AMG,even if i don't drive my car during winter it's in a garage, i managed to find some tiny zits of rust on my car. the rust was on the doors, when i folded the upper rubber resonance protectors up on the doors, (i don't know what they are called in english, i think you will understand what i'm writing about) i found some small spots of rust, check this out on all your benzez even E-CLASS.
in europe they are changing the doors and boots if they are heavily damaged by rust, or respraying the doors that depends.

so my question is do this happen on benz cars in the greatest country of the universe USA.:D

its common here in hawaii, since we are surrounded by the ocean. however, I found out that the cars are quite safe from rust if you live at least a mile inland(from the shore), and those cars that are mosly in coastal areas, they rust very fast.
you might want to invest in a rust prevention system, its not that expensive, about 100USD, and is quite effective.

On the drivers door, there is a spot of rust above the rubber gasket running along the bottom of the door. Now I have found 2 tiny spots along the metel close to the wheel well (lip).

yes had some rust on driver door an back door they were just repainted and MB paid the whole thing. As far as i know MB has 8 year quarantee on rust. Ask about this your local dealer about this. this should cover the whole Europe. ( I bought mine from germany)

[benzonline]

Well time to visit the dealer soon ....this is worse than my friends 97 civic which gets washed once a year.

[trymonlam]

yeah i got rust. a couple of them. and i would love to have it taken care of.
so can anyone confirm if the the 8 year rust program is for US clients as well?

there are electronic systems that prevent rust by sending negatively charged particles throughout the metal of your car, thus preventing oxidation and eventually rust to your vehicle.
this is what Im talking about:

Yeh I got rust.. my drivers door where the molding is that runs in the center of the door.. and also at the top of the door where the door seal is.. also at the bottom of the door.
rear drivers door has a spot.. my roof has a small spot.
rust sucks...

I have the same rust issues as everyone else. I did much research into it, and if I recall, Mercedes NA cars only have a the 4 year / 50k for rust :rolleyes: W210s have the same issue with rust being on the doors just above or below the sills, and under recall, can have anti-rust substance injected into the sills. Some 210ers even had the rust fixed under warranty. As far as I know, they never did anything of the sort with 202s :rolleyes:

If this works, that would be great. It seems a little too "soldering a 9V to the inside of your trunk" though.
