Xantia Roof Rail Rust

Worth checking, from my experiences. Peel off the rubber gutter moulds and check metal beneath for corrosion.

It may just be a Heuliez thing, but there were three trouble spots brewing for me - and this in a sunny, warm place!

Cheers, Adam.

When I was on an Aussie 4x4 forum the guys all had rust in rear windows of Patrol. Yet they didn`t rust out here :roll: Chassis and wheel arches made up for it though.

Insane! There needs to be a non-profit shipping cooperative formed so lads like him can get donor chassis cuts, and people like me, Activa parts!

I hope to see "JGRA" in the next week or two (don't have his contact though) and perhaps show him the non-rusty ancient beasts you find about the place, in peoples' haysheds and back paddocks.
