wtf mate, rust on 1/4 panel lip (04 Sedan)

Darn, after careful inspection my sedan has sign of rust on the rear passenger side 1/4 panel lip. The driver side is fine, nothing crazy. I was wondering if you guys ever had this rust problem before :\, will Infiniti help fix this problem?
Thanks team

^impossible to say without a more detailed description and a photo. There are some that have had sedan doors replaced due to rust.

The coverage and duration in the warranty plan is extensive. However, if the rust is even possibly caused through something like a rock chip or lack of maintenance your claim is likely to be denied.

Something to do with the gas tank filler I believe. I recall reading up something like this, search around?

check the owner's manual for the corrosion warranty. typically the manufacturers are relatively generous when it comes to corrosion protection. i.e. 6-7 years, unlimited mileage...

you are probably still covered...get it fixed under warranty.

My 2003 G35 Coupe, Original Owner, 55k miles, no collisions.

Rust in BOTH REAR WHEEL ARCHES. Below the paint surface.

A body restoration shop has pinpointed the issue to spot welds on either side of the car where rear quarter panels meet side panel of body. They found a bulge in the body panel where one piece of steel is sandwiched (by spot welds and caulk) onto the other. The bulge has cracked the caulk on the inside of the seam. They state that until they get in there with a sand blaster they cannot be certain of the condition. Yet they would bet there already are small holes caused by corrosion in the area of the suspect spot welds.

Now waiting to hear back from District Warranty Rep.
