Nipz Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Long time no speak! Noticed over the last couple of months the rust spot has got bigger and bigger on the rear wiper. Any one else got this? PS i know my car needs a clean :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S666LER Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Nope but looks like surface rust, should just wipe off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Are you trying to steal my thunder?!? I'm the only one allowed rust round here ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Shadow Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 phew when i read the thread I thought it would be like the MK6 rust spots all over again DONT SCARE ME LIKE THAT Take it to ford, they will most likely replace it if its genuie rust and not just surface SCUM!!! My saxo Wiper Blades and bolts doesn't have as much rust as that though, maybe try giving it a good clean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoventry Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 It's a Ford, they come with rust from the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesilverfox Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Will Ford replace that? Wear and tear argument? Perhaps they will - I don't know :) However, I'd simply clean it up and remove the rust and then smear petroleum jelly over the exposed metal (that clearly hasn't been powedercoated well).

Tyrefryer Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Any one else got this? Same here ;) But if that little rust makes you upset, don´t look under your car :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

studly Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Even before i clicked the link i already knew about the rust under the mk7, had a look on mine while it was on the lift when i was getting my tracking sorted and it comes as quite a shock when you first see it lol. You wouldn't expect to see so much rust under a new/newish car especialy considering my old corsa (56 reg) had very little rust underneath.

Michael P Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 That rust is ridiculous! Even though it's only surface rust and just looks unsightly, it's still pretty poor that Ford don't do something about it pre-production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoventry Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Ford still hasn't sorted out its rust problem, obviously they are better now than ever before, but still not quite there yet! Just look at the state my Ka was left in from the factory (admittedly an old shape Ka, but still...) http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=10999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
