i didnt have a warranty on my car but where is your rust. is it up near where the windshield is on some of those thick metal pieces. that is where some of mine is. i probly wont fix it though. by the time rust gets through that whole piece, i will have totaled the car or completely torn it apart. any other opinions?

make sure it wasnt hit before and repainted. If it was repainted and damaged before, they may not warranty it...

Just a note, the warranty only covers rust if it makes a hole through the sheetmetal. They won't cover superficial rust.

True. I've got rust at the front and in the hatch area. I asked about getting it warranteed and they wouldn't do the front because I wrecked the front end and had it fixed and they wouldn't do the hatch because it hadn't rusted through yet. 100,000 rust warranty my ass.
