Rust

<< < (3/3)

Mace:
I've just fitted rocksliders to my 95, 300tdi, 3 door and part of the installation involved undoing the retaining pop rivets (not original I might add) along the bottom edge of the rear wing (in front of the rear wheel). I stuck my hand in and out dropped about 1/3 of a bucket of dried mud. It was stuck in the cavity behind the wing and was filling the hidden sill face. Now all clean and waxoyled, 'till next time I decide to clean it out.

It's a perfect spot to trap mud and moisture, slowly eating away at the rear box section of sill. Be warned.
