I took off the front splash guards and all the paint was flaking right at the edge of the rocker-panel.
Any way to get ford to fix this under the rust warranty? probably wishfull thinking.
Can someone suggest a fix? Tremclad Rust primer or a rockguard undercoating?
thanks
The Ford rust warranty only covers penetrating rust originating from inside the panel; rust caused by damage through use, or even badly fitted components, is not covered.
If it is obscured by the splashguard anyway it will be a fairly easy fix as there is no need to match the paint. Rust treatments are OK, but much better to abrade it all back to bare metal and fill / reprime it if you can, or a local garage / body shop probably wouldn't charge a huge amount.
Things never changed at ford then...
