[s-cars] Rust free not

[bill mahoney]

Whoa whoa whoa men!
You rusty hood guys will have to sart your own thread;)
I myself, speaking for myself about tailgates, can only report that my
rusty message to the dealer was totally accepted by the service
writers voice mail and Ah'm sure he will call me back tomorrow.  oh
yes he surely will right?
But I am heartened by the seemingly general consensus that I will get
a new tailgate.
AND I must say that for my particular isatiously stupid but generally
okay avant, I would deem the tailgate as perhaps the most troublesome
part.
I would say to avant owners that there is seam about 8mm above the
tail lights that runs the entire length of the tailgate that should be
looked at closely.  You may have only 6 to 9 mos. for a warranty claim
that could save you 1 to 1.5 k in repairs.  The body shop guy I went
to seemed pretty much uninterested in dealing with anything
uninsurance related.
