Symptoms
Bubbling at the rear wheel arches, a patched-feeling inner well, or a mud flap that sits unevenly.
The fix, step by step
- Fold the rear seat and peel back the inner wheel-well cover to see the inside.
- Cut out rust to clean metal, weld in patch panels, seam-seal and protect the area.
- Corsetti calls inner wheel-well rust common and relatively easy to repair; frame-rail rust is a different matter and needs professional assessment.
