HUGE Dilemma--rust...

So, since my car had been hit in the parking lot at school, I had it checked out by the best body shop in the area (C&D, Hackensack, nj). Anyway, they are 99% sure the damage can be fixed with paintless dent removal... This is great...


BUT. what they also noticed is that the seals of my two rear doors are now rusting and starting to spread (my dent is on one of those doors). So, I call morriStown BMW immediately, they take a look and say they need a rep from BMWNA to check it out... And determine whether this qualifies for their rust warranty. But this guy only comes once a month (I dont know when yet)

So now I'm in a pickle, if I get the dent fixed, BMW may turn around and replace my doors.. Huge waste of time and money.. But if they don't replace it, then I wasted time not getting it fixed--and my car is compromised.

I'm very upset about this. A 2004 model with rust?!? Has anyone dealt with the anti-rust guarantee?

Help!

Rust? What's that? I live in Southern California.

I would wait for their rep to check it out. You can live with the minor damage for now rather than possibly waste the time and money to get the dent removed before the rust is checked. It's not like you're driving around with a door that doesn't close properly or a bumper hanging off. I think it's worth waiting for.
