Is rust in the interior like this normal?
 

Hi guys,

So I was cleaning my car and noticed that the rails on my A-pillar had small spots of rust on them. I pulled off the A-pillar panel and took the following pictures. Is this normal? At first I thought there was a leak into my car, but now I'm starting to think that the metal just wasn't coated properly and is spot rusting. What do you guys think? Pictures are of my passenger side A-pillar with the panel removed.

BTW, car is a 2013 G37. (I know, I'm in the wrong forum)

It looks like some surface rust, but I don't like it. I haven't checked mine...

That's shitty. At 90K miles, I've got nothing like at my a-pillars or roof line :twocents:

Pic links dead?

Live close to the ocean or park at the beach often? Windows cracked when parked?

No pic showing up.

If it's just light surface rust, it shouldn't be a big deal. If there is any pitting, I'd suggest sanding and priming.

It looks like just light surface rust from the pics I saw earlier. But I would definitely want to look at it closer before deciding not to do anything.

My house is like 50 yards from the ocean, and Z is parked there half the year. I haven't noticed any rust on my Z car.

Added pics above.

No, garage kept. But I bought the car a year ago, and it could have been from the previous owner.

Added pics above.
Looks like surface rust I could quickly sand and paint. But I was just wondering what could have caused this? I'm going to wash my car on the weekend and check for any possible leaks.

Approved pics :)

Thank you! Sorry, didn't realize that post with pics had to be approved. Will note for the future.

Only for new members - after probation and a prodding you're good to go

When I had my little windshield roof ding repair I noticed rust forming within a week.

It was sanded fixed respray ed. As everyone has said it's hard to tell from the picture. It doesn't look super bad but rust is well... rust

I can't tell from pics, but is the windshield original OEM glass? I have seen stuff like this and worse happen when chain glass places send out the newb to replace windshield, they cut and seal with a blade and cut into paint on outside of pillar, then a few years later you have pillar cancer.

Like da whole faking island is in da middle of da Pacific. :D

I think it's karma. I hear people in hawai are bunch of arseholes. Is dis true?
