Hi there,
I have a 03SS - purchased new, with 312,000kms (194,000miles), original paint, clutch, motor (no oil consumption).....
One think I noticed, after the winter, minor corrosion spots on the roof. This car has NO sunroof (ordered that way back in 2003). The rubber moldings around the front windshield and rear window have all but disintegrated due to the UV, but no water appears to leak in.
There are a few spots along the windshield header, and one spot in the middle of the roof. It looks to be paint that's flaking off. It doesn't look to be traditional rust blistering.....
Very annoying, I have done everything to maintain is over the past 12 years, then this shows up....ugh.
Any thoughts?
I've had sunroof cars before where the water leaks in through bad seals in the sunroof, and rots out the windshield header, but nothing like this.
Thanks,
Joe
