Best aluminium corrosion protection??

ABZ-Elise · Post by **ABZ-Elise** » Tue Nov 06, 2007 7:37 pm

I pulled the black rubber mats up from my footwells today. There are a couple of bits of corrosion that I want to treat before they go through. Anyone know what the best stuff to use is??

Thanks,
Kev.

How about getting it repaired under warranty like every other owner?

Plus you get a free set of high quality fitted carpet mats to replace the rubber when they have finished

(for "high quality" read "paper thin" ... but they are free)

Would it still be covered?? The warranty would have run out ages ago.

Have a nosey here. http://www.elises.co.uk/problems/common.html

I had my s1 exige done under warranty a couple of months ago. I called MMC with the chassis number and they just booked it in. Think it is more of a recall thing than a warranty thing (but stand to be corrected). ANyhow, MMC couldnt have been any more helpful

Best be quick, it's an 8 year anti-corrosion chassis warranty, your's must be close or just over?

If you are out of warranty, and they are strict on the eight year limit, I have a complete kit that came with the car, so I have plenty of spare cleaning/treatment lquid that you can use rather than buying it.

I checked. It says nothing is outstanding on my car. Must be out of warranty.
