I was at Harveys the other day and saw an mx-3 like mine (only his was a 4 banger..HAH) and he had the same rust spot as my car does. On each of the doors of the car, right on the bottom right corners of the windows- where the outer rim of the window frame meets the colored part (?) of the car- there are these strange rust spots- wondering if anyone on here has had this problem also- and what they did to fix it! <BR>It looks awful! its the only sign of age on the whole car and i'd like to rid of it!<BR>or make it not so...nasty looking? haha<BR>thanks!<BR>~*Michelle<BR>or<BR>MX-3 for Me!
