Rust Warranty

[Meric]

maybe you have an 03 manufactured 04 model?

Yeap you got me. It is built in 03 for 2004 models. -.-

Thanks for the link. Do body shops like people bringing the parts for them to paint/install?

No, because then they can't gouge you on part prices too.

I'd just tell your shop where they can get the fender for the price you want and tell them to order it there. If they push back on that, find a new shop!

Good Evening All!

I am wondering if anyone has taken advantage of this warranty recently.

I have finally gotten around to washing the zhp in the recent thaw and the rust spots I am aware of have grown. I am seeing some bubbling in the wheel wells and the front corners where the side skirts meet the metal.

I have an '04 zhp, so I should be covered by this 12 year warranty, right? I have also read that the rust must be "perforated".

Does anyone have a success story of this warranty actually doing them any good? Should I contact the dealer or a certified BMW shop?

Looking forward to some input. Thanks guys!

Haven't seen or heard stories of anybody being able to take advantage of this. The rust perforation-proofing on the car is pretty good so I'd be shocked if anyone ever had actual perforation within 12 years.

It is true, though; the rust has to have perforated the metal for it to be covered. Also I believe the 12-year warranty on that started in 2004, so if you have a 2003 you're out of luck.

yep, perforated is a bad state.

i have some light bubbling in a few spots that will get addressed this year.

nope, it's not anywhere near perforation... going to have a friend of mine who does high-end bodywork fix the bubbly spots. he's also going to replace the windshield for me as two of the nasty spots are directly above the windshield - it would have to come out anyway.

Hmm. I might get them to look at my passenger door.
