Re: [MBZ] 99 E300 diesel?
In my case one side had visible rust staining seeping through cracks in the paint. The other side had no visual indication of rust but there was plenty of it underneath the paint and adhesive goo they smeared over things. When I poked around hard enough the paint peeled off. The goo took a bit of work because they used so much. Since then the rusting has increased logarithmically on the rest of the car. It is impossible to keep up with it. The 82 240D and the 87 SDL's are doing just fine. -Dave Walton On Jul 10, 2011, at 1:17 AM, Allan Streib str...@cs.indiana.edu wrote: So it seems this is one that could have the rust issues... what I read about this is that you can't really tell if there is a rust problem without scraping off the body panel sealant that's used over the welds.
