Anyone else getting a spotty rust discoloration on the 2 two trim parts on the barn doors? The Clubman has been nuked with road salt for the past 2 months, but it seems a bit pre-mature. I have been spraying down the Clubbie once a week or so to get the grime/salt off (at least when it has been above freezing...), so I am a bit disappointed if it is rust.
If you are talking about the two chrome strips just below the windows. I is is not really rust.
Check out the detailing section and you should be able to find some threads on cleaning this. OR you can contact some of the vendors for detailing products to find out how best to clean it.
I went in for an unrelated issue and they replaced mine without any apparent "rust". They called it a "recall", but I haven't checked the service writeup yet to confirm that it was a true recall issue.
I too have noticed the chrome strips on the rear barn doors (just below the windows) featuring this rust staining. It does come off when cleaned, but it does return.
I have that...plus I noticed little rust flecks all over my barn doors... I have not clay bar'd it...but it does not come off when washed.. I am going in for service on Thursday..hopefully its not rust... Anyone else experience this?
