Potential for RUST

Recommended Posts

Found a potential Rust problem on the sills. I while back had the rear side cards out to wax the sills, and found a build up of road dirt in side the sills, approx a yog pot full in each. This had come in from a small drain hole at the rear most inner coner of the sill, which was now blocked. Scrapped all the muck out and waxed the insides making sure the hole was free to vent. Could see how in time this becomes blocked and rust takes a hold leading to a few patches needing letting in. Provension is all ways better than cure, especially if you want to keep the car for a long time.

 

You can gain access to these holes from just in front of the rear wheel, if you follow the rolled edge of the arch all the way down under the car, there should be an opening in the inner most lowest coner. Push in a cable tie or similar to see if its blocked.

 

Just a thought to keep Cs on the road for longer

 

Cheers Guy.
