Default Rust Under all Doors. Have you checked yours Lately? What did you do about it?

I know this has been posted before and I did a search already but no real true answers as to what the dealers did or did not do.

If you have not looked under your doors (bottom by the rubber molding) chances are, you have rust too. If I were you, I'd check it out now. Easier to see with flashlight even in daylight.

What did you guys do for those who do have rust?

Thanks.

If I am not mistaken you Audi should have a 10 year corrosion warranty.

You are correct. I have yet to go to the dealer to discuss this issue. I just want to know if this has been brought to the attention of Audi yet.

Have you looked at your doors cwilliamsny?

The warranty is against corrosion from the inside out...

Default It not from the doors themselves though, it's from the rubber moldings on the lower edge...

they have a metal strip inside, which collects water and salt from the road and rusts, eventually it just disintergrates, and the rubber strips fall off. How are your moldings looking?
