#163299 Where's the common places to look for rust on EG? How can I repair them? If I take it to a re-spray shop will they get rid of the rust then paint the car?

#163330 the rear 1.4 panels rust from the in side out, so even if you see only 1 tiny bubble in the paint - it's already started :(

I would take out the plastic piece inside and look for any rust, although it's tough to get a good look. may need a light and small mirror.

Look behind the plastic rocker panel cover too - big area where rust can hide.
Look from the inside of the car here as well.
Those were the 2 bad areas on my car and a lot of the hatches i see.

it will move to your ass and begin to eat you :roll:


If you dont take care of it chances are it will spread and eventually just chip/brake off leaving holes and empty spots. So basically take care of it ASAP!
