Rust problem on an 04?

[wan_man]

Well i read all about peoples rust problems on their CTR's but today i discovered two small "dots" on my drivers side door sill.

Where do i stand with this? Havent got time to take it to Honda at the moment because i cant get the time off work.

Wouldnt expect this on an 04 Sport..... :?

Take it back the paintwork is covered for 3 years iirc, and 6 years if it corrodes from within?

If the rust is caused through scratch's/damage to the paint then it won't be covered under warrenty. :wink:

There is some rust underneath my rear number plate (2004 cosmic) only a couple of spots - did you think it is worth sorting :?:

They are pretty near where the dealer has drilled the number plate holes - so no doubt they will try and fob me off with some excuse. Will take another look at weekend

They may be caused by your seatbelt shutting in the door.

Thats what they told me, therefore no cover :cry:
