Interior & ExteriorDiscussions about the interior, and exterior of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "Rust developing (rear bumper)", within the Interior & Exterior forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
behind the rear bumper on my 02 with only 6000 miles on it. I'm sure I'm not the only one to have this problem. So what has anybody done to stop this from getting worse? Any kind of spray that could be put on to seal the rust without having to sand the heck out of it? It looks to be just surface rust now but don't want to let it get worse. THANKS
while my truck was getting painted, my cuz noticed the rust was coming from under the top plastic trim. He removed the trim, and rust converted it, put the trim peice back on.

My dad had this happen on his 02 bumper, and the dealership replaced both bumpers for free. They said the new bumpers were from a different distributer, and would not rust and peel like the originals did.

I just used "Mothers Chrome Polish" and I have not seen it come back yet. I only have 9000 on it now.
