rust (with pic)
sorry, i'm back again with another question...
i've noticed a rust spot on my trunk (to the right of my license plate).
it's not big, probably a little bigger than a tip of a pen, but it will grow if i don't take care of it...
i don't think i keyed it in since the trunk lock is at least 10 cm away from the spot...
i did a search in the vehicle issues forum on rust and they said they went to the dealers to fix it under warranty?
has anyone been to the dealership with this problem? is it really covered? do they send you out elsewhere to a body shop or can they fix it there?
thanks for your help!

Rep Power: 0 Rust should be covered, check in manual (its in car 
). You drop off the car at the dealer and THEY send it out. Many dealers send their cars out to an affiliate body shop. They can not fix it at the dealer, must be at a bodyshop. Remember to ask for a rental car, this is the time to have fun while not damaging anything.

Rep Power: 0 Why don't you use hood deflector... it does save alot of chips because you can see a **** load of scratches on it... or better yet use the invisible tape thingy thats now a new trend.

Rep Power: 0 went to the dealer's today..
they told me to wait a bit and see how the rust turns out....but then after they decided they were going to buff it out and touch it up...
but won't have time until i go back to school (in may)...
so hopefully when i get it fixed then i will take some pics and post it...

Rep Power: 0 they can't buff it out... it should still be rusting underneath... if anything, they have to sand the spot (and surrounding area) down and repaint the entire trunk...
