    Default VP rust. Nothing new

    Hey all,

    I was cleaning the SS the other day and noticed the rear window seal was slightly raised at a 1 spot. Peeled it back a little and there it was, the glorious metallic appreciation of Melbournes fantastic winters and chilly mornings.

    Question, is this why I have moisture in my boot as well? Or is that coming in through somewhere else. And also, (I think i'm answering my own question) I take it its a window out job to repair properly? (And uncover some more rust no doubt)

    Thanks all

    if your tailights have been remove/replaced before it can get in around them too, they dont seal properly after you rip em out. Do what i did and just get some all purpose silicone and seal up aroud the top and side

    You have moisture in your boot, coz GM knew that there would be an upcoming drought with water restrictions.

    Now they allow us to wash our cars with the water that gathers where the spare tyre goes.
