Check the bottom of your doors!!
Problems/Service/Maintenance Do you have problems with your new 2.0, 2.2, or 2.4L? What kind of service did you have done?
I was cleaning my car the other day and i seen that on the bottom of the door where the weather strip meets the door is rubbing the paint of to bare metal.I'm a painter at a body shop so i fixed it myself but thats the first place you will get rust.
mine's doing the same thing... GM told me its because I have aftermarket wheels and 1 size bigger tires. Same thing for the paint coming off the rockers, both bumpers and the quarter panel.
Those are some tires, no?
Thanks for the warning boostedss26.
My paint is rubbing off the doors onto the weather stripping.
I may as well **** on an electric fence for all its doing. The dealership told them that I have aftermarket wheels and tires (the tires are a 215-60-15... stock I think was 195? 205? 60-15) and the wheels are the same offset (?) as factory... I am getting the weenie.
I went to autozone to get weather stripping lubricant and they didn't know what i was talking about. Should i be looking for something else?
You should be taking it to the next level, get GM customer service in on it. You will be amazed what a dealer will do for you once they get a phone call. Rim ad tires voiding warrenty, common your getting the shaft.
I keep the painted parts of the insides of my doors waxed fairly regularly... maybe every other time I wax the exterior... haven't seen evidence of any problems yet... but I'll have to check.
can u put any pics of it? b/c i have the front of my passanger, bottom corner door rubbin on the metal but only when its really cold and wana see if it's that what your talking about.
wash it in the winter.
Do not use any type of petroleum product for this ,because it will swell and degrade your weather strpping.
Mine is going to the body shop under warranty sometime next week. The left front door is chipping away on the upper and lower door edge.
Unfortunately, the car is gone. I traded it in shortly after I made the post for a 2007 SS/SC.
2 years now and no problems, I always clean the doors with Windex and also the weather stripping I apply some ArmourAll so it won't stick.
mine does it now did you guys end up having the dealer repaint the chipped area too or they only readjusted the door?
