Rust found on some Scion xB doors
#181
i've found a bit in my driver side door, have yet to even check the other doors. i'm not taking it back to teh dealer i baught it from, they can kiss my white baby skinned @$$.
alot of this is caused by flexing of the chassis while driving. another reason why having a fitted roll cage installed in the xB should be done so that it take away ALOT of this problem.

This has nothing to do with flexing. Even if ithe car is flexing, the door is only attached to the chassis via the hinges and the latch. Rest of the contact is around the rubber seal around the door opening. The door itself doesn't really flex all that much. Especially the rusting part around the windows.
The rust discussed in this thread is caused by incomplete application of paint in the areas where the extruded metal parts of the door are welded together. Water intrudes into those areas and rust forms. This would happen even if you took the door out of the car and jut let it sit outside (unflexed).

What's weird is my rust went away - like maybe it was some iron dust that was on the paint or something - there was never any more on it after finding it on several of my doors that first year. I still want to get under the carpet in the back and see what's going on under there.

Back when this first came up I thought there might be a problem 'cause the paint in that area of mine looked rather thin, so I've kept an eye on it. Six years now and zero rust.
I don't think mine has a problem.
