So for all you people who live in a area that gets snow and loads of salt did you get the undercoating or skip it. I myself live in Nebraska and there has been loads and loads of salt on the roads all winter. I did not get any undercoating because I do not drive my xB in the winter much (use my malibu) but my question is did you and is it worth it or does it really work? My 2001 malibu has been threw 7 NE winters and I have rust around my gas fillerneck and starting in the fenders and some spots in the trunk.

 

LOL, and I thought the purpose of undercoating an XB was to help keep out road noise

 

If you have driven more than 20 or 30 miles already, its not worth it. Most likely, you will end up sealing moisture in and causing faster rusting.

I say, leave it alone.

 

Im takin this as no one does the undercoating when they get a new car.

 

My xB has the undercoating from the factory.
