I noticed today that there is a "rust bubble" of paint on the passenger
side above the rear wheel well. I looked in the wheel well and can see
some rust forming...on both sides. My '03 now has 70,000 miles and is
garage kept, but is in the "rust belt" of Pittsburgh. I would like to
get another few years out of this vehicle and am wondering if I should
do something NOW to retard further rust....or just keep it clean and
wait until it's a bigger deal. In other words, can rust really be
stopped or would can all one do is wait for it to become big enough to
fix?
Anyone else noticing rust on '02 and later bodystyle
Mountaineer/Explorers?
