Check your roof racks for surface rust.

Several weeks ago I was checking my roof out on the VX and noticed significant rust at 3 places along my rood rack. At one spot it is all the way through 1/8 inch wide. Rust usually forms in the same place on models. I will have to take this bull by the horns but I'm not sure how. Probably remove the entire rack and run a fiberglass strip down then paint and replace the rack. It is very discouraging. For the moment I am embarassed to say I grabbed household calk and covered it - just to keep rain out for now. If anyone has any experience with this one - please chime in.

Ah, the advantages of living and owning a VX that has spent its entire life in the dry hot desert!
Good luck with the de rusting process.

There is some bubbling under my roof rail . Maybe I'll get it fixed this year .

I've got a small hole back by the spoiler on the drivers side. Notice it was rusting and decided to put my finger through it to see how bad it really was

Some body work is in order.

If any of you have any tips regarding the best way to resolve this matter. That'd be great

Yea when my windshield frame rusted I had them remove the rail covers and just sand, prime and paint the entire roof because of a a bit of that.. My roof was a mess! All gravy now though
