My Fabia 1.4 MPI is ten years old, and only recently has it begun to hiccup: replaced temp sensor & stat housing, and a steering bush. Also sounds like wheel bearing packing up. Otherwise, she runs sweetly and cheaply. though is willing enough when asked nicely.

But I have a question: the black rubber covers on the rear doors, where the metal meets the glass, looks as if I've got corrosion blistering underneath. How can I get these rubber covers off to deal with the corrosion? I'd appreciate help.

Hi and welcome aboard.
