Default Rust on tailgate.

I have noticed that there is rust around the tailgate handle.
It looks as though it's coming from the inside out.
Has anyone else had this problem.
The car is a 2004 coupe.

Norrie.

Hi - I'm in the uk too. Same issue on an '04 sapphire blue metallic. Difficult to tell where its from but my dealers paint guy took it back to the metal and refinished it. I shall keep an eye on it now.

Max, I think this car has seen it's worse depreciation. If you pay attention the prices have held steady the last year. I know my '05 Limited roadster is going for the same price I bought mine almost a year ago.

yeah well, just wait for the general public to hear that the xf is a rust bucket, we'll see how long the current value last, lol.

Such pessimism. So far no rust on mine. Knock on wood.
