We bought a wee Honda Civic Tourer recently and having had it on the lift for the first time this week I noticed that there was rust forming on the lower lip of the driver’s door.
Car is 2015 and unfortunately Honda’s warranty only cover the bodywork for 3 years.
I’m not sure if they’d have covered this anyway as it may have been caused by the drain hole in the door being blocked by a leaf (or something similar) which may have caused water to pool inside the seam.
Anyone in bodywork recommend what to do to stop the rot (literally!)?
I have dabbed rust neutraliser on the seam and may gently rub it down, prime it and paint it with touch up / lacquer kit.
Any other recommendations paint men?
