the lips on the bottom of the front fender near the doors was the only indication of rust for me.

 

I WANT PICS TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

ok here is a quick paintshop photo i did.

notice the red around the rear wheel well. that is where this piece of black rubber weather stripping/grommet/or whatever else you want to call it is located.

it simply pulls off.

 

show me how you took yours off and i'll call you batman

 

Ive found rust on a few where the rear bumper meets the quarter panel. Rocks/gravel get stuck between the two and scratch off the paint causing rust. Just pop off the two screws and take a peek...you may be horified!!!

 

See I knew these Honduhs rust!!!

I want pics people!!! I WANT PICSSSSSSSSSS haha

When I go buy another one I want to know where to look for when it comes to rust.

pretty please with an S emblem on top :-)

 

Thanks for the pic

But wouldn't removing the molding/rubber thing make the metal prone to chips? Or is it plastic under that? Cuz I was thinking if you expose the paint, then that area would just chip and rust anyway

Thanks

 

Everyone should check the top lip of the inside of their trunk lid. Very easy to see on my Sebring. I'm not calling it rust just yet but it appears that it will eventually be rust if not routinely mointained. This was on my brand new car so everyone needs to be aware of this (unless I'm the only one).
I've been putting a very light coat of white lube on the top leading edge every couple of weeks or so.

 

just pull it off with ur hands. its barely glued on.

 

no it really doesnt chip off. i never had problems on any of the hondas where i pulled it off.
