Rust

I have some rust on my front window frames and on the roof of my truck. I called Toyota today and they said,"Sorry, we can't do anything."

Just curious if other people have had any experience with this, and what might be the best resolution.

Things like: Sell it, fix it, or try another avenue with Toyota.

Bro it's a Toyota. Rust is a garentee.

 

How bad is it? Pics?

 

Seems everyone wants free shit now days.

 

My '05 has some as well. I soak it with red rust check.

I think it's from when they replace a windshield, the tool they use cuts the paint, exposing bare metal in places and water sits in there and starts to rust. Pull back the rubber and spray a rust proofing spray in there to drastically slow down or stop the rust.

 

Well, you can take comfort in knowing you provided the person who took your call, their coworkers and families a great laugh!

 

Just be a man about it

 

You live in a marine environment, everything that's metal rust. You probably need to sell and replace your vehicles in a much shorter time frame than most. You lose to much value when Mr. Rust shows up.

 

Several threads on this issue.

 

Yikes. That would suck.

You have to understand that today's Toyota has a 10 year run rate. They arent made well at all. Just do a little searching and you can find at least ten common problems these trucks have, 2 which are life threatening., Maybe more.

 

You know, the problems Tacomas have bugged me... Until I went and looked at the frontier forum. Now I am perfectly happy with the inherent problems with the Tacomas.

2nd gen Tacomas have been the same design for 10 years. I've seen threads for second gens going 300,000+ miles. I like my chances. Third gen... Maybe it'll get sorted out.

 

Roof rust always sounds more like a personal vehicular care issue to me. I've seen only a handful of even 1st gen Tacomas with rust on the roof and maybe only a couple 2nd gens, the other 95% with none to speak of.

Did you regularly wash and/or paint seal and/or wax every once in a while?

 

Unavoidable in certain states

 

A dude at work from Wisconsin has a golf gti that has body panels rusting pretty hard core. Not just a Toyota thing.

 

LOL!
