Ive just noticed rust around the boot struts & I really need a carport as the paint on the spoiler is all bubbled

I had my AU Series One boot strut anchor points repaired 11 times! (all under warranty)

The factory had heaps of old ones in stock so only once the new ones come along did the problem get resolved.

Basically the problem was galvanic corrosion - dissimilar metals.

Some guys lose the top of the rear guard before the problem appears.

I use fish oil now as a safety measure throughout the boot area and the water channels.
