Are any of you having trouble with rust in the back fenders just back of the rear doors and above the upper edge of the bumper cover?
Mine is showing rust stains in the paint on both sides at that position. Pressing gently with a small punch doesn't suggest that it's perforating from the back side although that seems logical. There could be accumulation of road gunge there as it's just above the rear wheel arch. It may be necessary to cut out and put in patches on both sides.
My '02 has 154K miles and there's beginning to be some evidence of there being attention necessary to exterior surfaces.
