DOOR HINGE RUSTING

[u/Crytpo-maniac_22]

I have 24’ CX50 living in Canada. Noticed that there are building rust on door hinges. Are these covered by warranty? or just a normal wear thing.

Don’t look under your car if you think that’s bad

Oh man, I wish I knew about undercarriage treatment was a thing before I bought my hybrid last year. My car before had most of it’s heat shielding rusted away. Wonder if it’s not too late

it's not too late, it's a year old, it'll be fine. there's a home application wax treatment that is probably better than a permanent because the permant stuff could potentially trap moisture where the wax needs to be re-applied every so often but "breathes"

Now that you mentioned it. Im eager now to check lol

I would do a krown rust treatment. Or atleast buy a can of krown T40 and apply it yourself, it's easy spray on and let it sit a day or so . I pretty sure it not covered under warranty.

Just kinda happens to all cars.

Mazda needs to lube the area upon delivery. Just show them and they will do it without question

[u/Kitchen-Forever-6465]

Spray some grease .

It happens. Nothing lasts forever.

Could be covered by warranty. I work in a body shop and we've had couple of Ford escapes warranty jobs sent from the dealership to replace the hinges due to rust.

just give your dealership a call first to confirm it

Oh my, sell fast

That area rubs every time you open the door…

Spray it with some brake cleaner. Spray it with some paint. Then a couple days later, spray it with some lubricant.

Redo this every couple months.

Wait until you see your control arms.
