Rust Spot Warning
Hi all,
Just wanted to post this to make people aware of this potential rust spot as it's very well hidden. I was investigating a leak in the boot which I thought would be the typical real light seals but I found that it was actually coming from the boot seal. Peeling the seal to investigate further I found that the seal has been trapping moisture at the bottom lip which the seal rides on rustling in it rusting away I cought mine just in time. So I would reccomend thats its worth pealing the seal off to have a quick look. Last edited by thanos.m; 9th March 2021 at 15:59.. |

My old ZS saloon rusted quite badly in this spot. Presumably a result of a chronic water leak and very thin metal.
