Re: WOW ... stop the rust while you can ... from Dale
Hi--
I have read and studied all the posts in this thread with some dismay, since it seems a shame to have to deal with this problem on a brand new car. Ours is a 2008 Coupe which had only 6 miles on it when we bought it on September 4. We haven't checked our car for rust yet, however, I'm assuming there might be a problem based upon your posts and the fact that the car was sitting outside at the dealership for a while. I was encouraged by Antonio's post in which he got the attention of the Chrysler Chief of Customer Service. Then, I was discouraged by his latest post, in which he describes the dealership offering him weatherstripping that's already on his car. Should we go to our nearby dealership for help with this (you're all saying fat chance) or deal with it ourselves with one of the products recommended by all of you? This is an issue we need to address now, before winter and storing our car. Since Steve in the UK figured out the root cause, what is everyone thinking about the best way to deal with and/or prevent a rust problem? Thanks very much for your help with this. As I said when I posted "New Owner Here", are there any other issues that we need to focus on?
Regards,
Dale
