I previously wrote on 10/16 about rust on each of the "lips" of the rear wheelwells (Note: the peculiar thing is that each side matches the other), as follows.
I have rust on each of the "lips" to the rear wheelwell. An ex-chrysler bodytech advised, that there is a sponge in that area, that absorbs moisture causing this problem. Has anyone had such a defect and how did they resolve with Chrysler? Thanks for your help. Pete
Please note that I had the situation looked at and documented by Chrysler after almost 5 YEARS and RUSTCHECKING each year. They more or less said what Wrench007 said in a reply to my post. The ex-chrysler body repair person advised that there is a sponge or sponge-like material in the area, which holds moisture. Wrench 007 says that he does not know of any any such materials used in mfging cars. However, the repair person even advised that before using any welding in the area, he would have to take extreme caution against the sponge-like material in that area catching fire.
Now let's hear from some Chrysler owners who have had a similar problem. The repair person saw lots, so let's hear from owners or people who have seen this problem over and over like the ex-Chrysler bodyman.
