Metal rusts, this is an indisputable fact of nature so welcome to reality. The part in question is a light tin strip with hardly any paint that has the sole function of holding a piece of rubber in place. It is not a body panel or any other form of structural component and the fact it has a rust spot on it is meaningless. You are presenting as if your fender is going to fall off at any second when the reality is not even close.
I took a huge stone hit to my fender 2 weeks after I got the car and decided as an experiment to leave it bare. After two years and two very salty Ontario winters it is just now starting to develop a slight coating of surface rust.
These are not 1980s Dodge Omnis that rusted out in a year if you passed through a sprinkler and one spot on a cheap sub, sub, sub component is not an indication of "things to come".
Come back and show us when your rocker panel or wheel well edges start bubbling and maybe you will get some sympathy.

Yep, we'll see, one of us will be eating our words for sure, only time will tell. I am sure you'll still be a condescending prick regardless of the outcome.

Thread has been done for days. I posted to see if this was a common problem other people were having, it's not.

Seems you just posted yesterday so not sure how the thread was "done". That many people stated it was a bolt on part and not indicative of body rust seems to have aggravated you somehow and you felt a need to be derogative. You are correct. Time will tell but let's not get everybody all worked up over a $15 tin strip shall we?

Need to grow a thicker skin. Everyone's rusts. People just don't sweat it.

Yep, getting people worked up... "Sky is falling" post right there.

My last post before @DAEMANO posted "Totaled" was 8/22... Sure, I responded to his "Totaled" post because I thought it was a pretty **** move in what had been a very serious thread up till then.

Honestly, I can take the car for what it is. I like my car. My post wasn't "OMG CAR RUSTING SELL NOW BURN TO GROUND!"

I thought the whole thread was pretty reasonable, a picture and asking if anyone else had the issue. Everyone had nice, constructive responses until you guys came on board like the 86 mafia or something. "Someone said something bad about the 86 guys, get your pitchforks and torches, we gonna be internet hangin' some chump today."

But we didn't. I don't see anything but some lighthearted ribbing. I'm the first guy to move on when a thread gets mean spirited. I hate that stuff.

This is going to get worse for you because you're twisting on the hook.

Aww don't be all like that and everything. We wouldn't joke with you if we didn't love you. Look, truth is, in your pic it's a tiny bit of surface rust on an inconsequential part after a few years. If it's bugging you, scrub it off, repaint the area and it'll be fine. What others are trying to say, is that all cars rust a little and not to be worried. Its totally fine.

Now seriously, go look at your brakes.

I don't see any "ribbing", light or not. I called out @Tcoat on his condescending attitude and post. (you disagree that it is?) That's the closest thing to "ribbing" I see.

I don't like being talked down to because I find bubbling paint to be a concern on a 3-year old car. Structural or not. I find the answer of "just deal with it" to be pretty shitty.

@Ultramaroon you're one of the only people that actually offered a real solution. Thank you for that.

I just have no patience on this forum anymore for 86 white knights that take every problem with the car and say "don't worry about it". My hope in the original post was that other people had this problem and someone could give some advice on fixing it, like sanding and repainting. Several people did. Those people make this community better. "Cars rust, deal with it homie." Is not constructive.

Now seriously, go look at your brakes.
Not even in the same ball park. Rust that has started bubbling paint is hardly surface rust. If left unchecked, it will rust that piece out. Rotors are untreated steel, they are intended to get a layer of surface rust. That painted support is not intended to rust. Especially not under the paint.

Well, you asked people's opinion in an open forum and got it. If it didn't reinforce yours, that happens occasionally. It's the way of the world. Try to take it easy and enjoy your time here DylanFRS.

I responded what appeared to be a slur to those that contributed earlier and the fact you repeated it confirms my suspicion that it was.


The response to many of those little problems is indeed "don't worry about it". Many a person has had their mind set to ease about something by the responses here.


Your original post did not ask what you could do and your last one just complains that it is unacceptable with the indication you feel time will tell how bad the whole car will rust.


My statement did not say "deal with it" anyplace. Cars do rust. Always have. Always will. You still seem to maintain that the rust on a little strip is indicative that the whole car is doomed. I simply stated that is not true.


Did you really need to have somebody tell you to sand and repaint it?


You come on like a freight train at a simple "totaled" joke and then cry foul when you get responses to your sarcasm?
