Now that I'm totally paranoid, I checked my '05 tonight and both sides looked pretty good. No wetness, which there shouldn't be because it's never seen a wet wash OR rain in the 6 months I've owned it. And no rust...yet!

Car had 6,500 miles when I bought it and the finish was perfect, so I'm assuming that it had been garaged since new, and the previous owner took excellent care of it...but ya never know. Car now has 8,300 miles.

I don't plan on ever getting it wet if I can help it.
But I'll periodically check it, just to make sure.
Thanks for the sticky and heads up on this problem.

Peace
Paul
