rust bubbles

Post by andy_mr2_1987 »

just just a quick question, my car has got slight rust bubbles on the piller right next to the rubber window strip, is it easy to get this repaired? and is it a costly job? thanks

if you can put some pics up, might be a case of a rub down and repaint, but could be worse, hard to tell without seeing (even then though it could look beter/worse than it actually is)

ok to do this properly so that it can be cured completely the screen needs to be removed because the rust scabs will creep under the windscreen trim . it needs taking back to bare metal and if needed any rot cut out and replaced . i would not accept this as a job myself without the owner agreeing for the screen to be removed. the rust will just return and get worse if the screen is not removed. if you take it to your local spray shop and they agree a price to do it without removing the screen you will end up paying for the job to be done again at a higher cost. it is up to you though ! either pay to have the job done once and properly or have it just bodged up on the cheap :thumleft:

You need to see how bad it is underneath first.
