| Rust Problems With Door Seal - Cooper S 53
Hi Everyone,
I hope that someone out there has had the same problem as I have just discovered. I was washing my Mini Cooper S 2003 today and found some slight paint bubbling (rust) on the underside of the drivers side door. I am the second owner and it is in mint condition and has always been garaged...
I took the car the to my local dealership and the car was given a paint test (determines the depth of the paint work to see if the car has been repaired - if so then its not covered under the warranty). I was told that the readers should be between 90-100 and my car was reading between 100-200!!!! So the dealership said there was nothing they could do as they thought the car had been resprayed...
I decided I needed a second opinion so I took the car to another local dealership where they thoroughly inspeceted the whole car for rust and discovered that the drivers door had been replaced outside of BMW knowing (and unknown to me) hence voiding the warranty...
Has anyone else had problems with this type of rust and sorting it out with BWM warranty????? Let me know please....
Thanks  |
