Mine goes in next thursday to have some paint sorted on the INSIDE of the tailgate, the three sevice stamps in my service book did not have the anti corrosion check box ticked and i was a little worried about this putting in the claim but all was fine and a claim was ok'd.



The dealer i used seemed to think it was a 12 year cover but i have since found out it is 7 years on my 197.

On the 197

I think people are mixing corrosion and paint warranties mixed up here.

corrosion is 12 years.

Sounds interesting stuff, I've never been one for detailing but my car could do with a thorough going over, i.e remove all stickers and get it sorted. Looking at it closely it does need some paint correction.

Or I just get it wrapped

 

[smoggy mark]

Get it wrapped mate!it's the way forwardi hope!

Mines three and a half years old now so i must be getting mine done under anti corrosion warranty.

It has three blebs coming through under the paint on the inside of the tailgate.

I suppose the paint warranty cover defects in the paint.

Anti corrosion for rust coming the other way.
