As you may or may not know the doors on 6gens have a drainage hole at the bottom which is a really bad idea as water collects in the bottom door seam and causes the dreaded rust. Mine have a small amount on the surface and I would like to know how to stop it getting any worse. Is it safe to block the hole up or will that cause serious damage?
Any ideas for members will be much appreciated, thanks |

The rust normally gets hold because the drains get blocked. Both my doors have the dreaded tin worm. If it's not too bad, sand/grind as much off as you can. Treat with a good rust treatment/convertor & repaint. You could use waxoil or similar after treating/painting too. Just make sure the drain holes stay clear.
Going have to change both my doors, will be stripping to bare metal and painting with POR-15 before paint/waxoil. Hope that helps. -------------------- Regards
