Quarterpanel Rust

Hey, Ive been having this rust creep up on my quarter panel from my rocker on my driverside. Ive seen a lot of 3rd gens around me that are starting to have this problem! What about you?

is yours rusting where the rear corner panel and the rocker are welded together. Both sides of my car are doing it and basically every cavalier i see around here does also thats old enough. Those ohio winters and all that salt they use is the cause of this.

Well mine is jsut behind the drivers door there is the spot where teh quarter panel bents around teh rocker and well its welded to the rocker there! What i think happened is some how the quarter around the wheel well wasnt sealed right adn water got thru it that way. I noticed the paint start to bubble and I just pushed on it to see how long i could get out of it and my finger went thru and there was water inside so i dont know how bad it really is! But i do need to find a quarter panel or some metal i got an idea on how to fix it!

yep mine is doing that too, it was bubbling then i poked at it now it has a hole. looks like crap. i have a friend of the family that will fix it. i think he is going to cut it out and weld in a new peice somehow. but i have more performance crap i want to do first.

and i live in wisconsin(central) and dont drive it in the winter.

See some people dont understand me i see the paint starting to bubble and just have to poke it just act of nature. OKay not like it matters at all but see im from southern wisconsin and i heard that like eau claire, superior, eagle river, and all up there they dont use salt is that true?

Yup.. On both sides.. Dealer replaced the quarter panel last year.. It's rusting again. I also have rust on the inside of my trunk and the front bumper (bumper not bumper cover).. The car isn't even 4yrs old yet

But my lease is almost up and I won't have to deal with it anymore!!!

i bought my 99 z24 about 3 weeks ago, the car was from Macomb, Mi then Toledo, Ohio. it has rust on the back, when u pop the trunk theres a circle or top rust/ bubbled paint around the left black rubber stopper that stops the trunk door from hitting the car. also after i bought the car i didnt notice theres more top rust on the bottom of both doors, only on the inside. i must go to a body shop before winter!! i am honestly surprised it has rust on it!
