Jonno Member 79 Member For: 18y 8m 21d Posted 10/11/10 12:30 PM Share Posted 10/11/10 12:30 PM The bolt connecting the gas strut to the body of my 2006 XR6T has rusted. I asked my mechanic to replace it and he came back to me indicating that the bolt was frozen. I approached Ford and asked that it be repaired under the five year rust warranty, only to be told that only body perforation is covered. It just plain sucks that Ford don't give a toss that their vechicles rust It would also appear that their five year rust warranty is a joke. My Saab has a 10 year anti corrosion warranty.Jonno Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/71584-rust-in-bf-xr6t-boot-strut/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
