AssaTM Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Hi all, Does anyone know what caused this mark on the door please? It doesn't seem to move when I press on it and it feels solid, I can't work out at all what it could be but someone else may recognise it. Thank you ☺️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Thats a rust bubble unfortunately. Could possibly be a pin prick hole that moisture has gotten under but will need rubbing back, treating and repainting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaTM Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 Ahh that's a pain! But good to know thank you, do you know the rough cost of something like that please? And is it likely to get worse? Just wondering if it's something that needs immediate treatment or if it can wait a bit as it is barely noticeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly350z Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 As said it will get worse with time, how much time and how worse is entirely up to you. I'd say get it sorted with the next 6+ months. Unknown on the price as every bodyshop is different but I would say pay cheap pay twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaTM Posted July 2 Author Share Posted July 2 Brilliant stuff thank you, I'll look to get it done within the next couple of months just to be safe. In regards to stone chips I suppose the same thing is possible as well? They're quite hard to avoid given motorway driving but ideally I don't want them all rusting over time 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willsy1980 Posted September 15 Share Posted September 15 Depending on age and service history, it make still be covered under Nissan's corrosion warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith D Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) How did this end up? What did it cost you to repair? I've spotted a finger nail size bubble appearing on my door, similar area. The dealer warranty manager was very friendly and sent photo to Nissan UK but they've said no, there is no proof its corroded from behind rather then being a pin hole damage, and paint warranty was only 3 years from new. Took it to 2 local bodyshops, both want to dig out any corrosion, treat, and respray door and feather into wings (do a proper repair) but have priced it at £3,000 and £2,200 respectively. Seems mighty expensive. I figure I'll use some rust convertor for now and touch up bottle, until I figure out where I'm going with the project.

Loadmaster Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 A new door from Nissan will cost in the region of £1200. Maybe it will be a more economical repair that way? With a repair, there's always the chance that the problem will return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
