Featured Replies

i have found some rust on my tail gate just under the rubber, the rust is covered but by the rubbber i only realised when i saw a small bubble. I also found a bit of rust just after the left front wheel. Can i somebody give me a few ideas how i can solve these problems?

thanks

Remove rear screen, clean off rust, treat with a rust neutraliser and repaint. Same procedure with other rust. Allways use the neutraliser or rust will reapear

think my car should have a bath in this neutrilizer stuff

paint the lip on your wheel arches with used engine oil, after cleaning out any mud

The tailgate of my 1.9D estate was rust bitten beyond repair when I bought it, so I got hold of a near mint hatchback tailgate, which is exactly the same part. Also with the new tailgate, I had a slight beginning rust problem underneath the window seal, so I popped the window out, removed all the rust and painted with rust primer, sanding primer and body color. I let it dry until the next day and just before I pulled the window back in I treated the lip all around with body anti corrodant, so if it should start rusting again, the treatment would stop it. Plus that, the treatment gives extra protection against window leaks.

Remember, they're all the same, so be careful when looking for a replacement. Always check inside the window sealings, you're bound to find at least some rust if the hatch has ever been on. Don't be frightened, this is easily repaired as I explained above when done on time.
