Check the bottom of your doors!!
 

I was cleaning my car the other day and i seen that on the bottom of the door where the weather strip meets the door is rubbing the paint of to bare metal.I'm a painter at a body shop so i fixed it myself but thats the first place you will get rust.

mine's doing the same thing... GM told me its because I have aftermarket wheels and 1 size bigger tires. Same thing for the paint coming off the rockers, both bumpers and the quarter panel.

Those are some tires, no?

That is pretty bad if you ask me i hope that you are fighting witht them to get that fixed

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for the warning boostedss26.

My paint is rubbing off the doors onto the weather stripping.

^^^ Yeah mines doing that too. The weatherstrips around my door are blue

I may as well piss on an electric fence for all its doing. The dealership told them that I have aftermarket wheels and tires (the tires are a 215-60-15... stock I think was 195? 205? 60-15) and the wheels are the same offset (?) as factory... I am getting the weenie.

They insist that those BF Goodrich tires are responsible... Maybe its just their paint is cheap, thin and falling off the car? Oh no, that can't be happening...

My weatherstipping's turning yellow too. I'm going to go to Autozone and get some weatherstripping lubricant, hopefully that should help

oh be careful... if its not from GM, it'll void your warranty... :cussing: :cussing: :cussing:

I went to autozone to get weather stripping lubricant and they didn't know what i was talking about. Should i be looking for something else?

You should be taking it to the next level, get GM customer service in on it. You will be amazed what a dealer will do for you once they get a phone call. Rim ad tires voiding warrenty, common your getting the shaft.

I keep the painted parts of the insides of my doors waxed fairly regularly... maybe every other time I wax the exterior... haven't seen evidence of any problems yet... but I'll have to check.

can u put any pics of it? b/c i have the front of my passanger, bottom corner door rubbin on the metal but only when its really cold and wana see if it's that what your talking about.

A good way to keep it from rubbin off is 3m makes a clear stone chip tape you can cut a piece as long as the door and put it on. I also did that when i repainted my bottoms

Use silicon grease (I think they call it dielectric grease)
 

Silicon grease lightly applied on the weather strip will also keep your doors from freezing shut when you
wash it in the winter.
Do not use any type of petroleum product for this ,because it will swell and degrade your weather strpping.

that sucks

yep, mie does it :(

Mine is going to the body shop under warranty sometime next week. The left front door is chipping away on the upper and lower door edge.

Unfortunately, the car is gone. I traded it in shortly after I made the post for a 2007 SS/SC.
from my understanding, the people that purchased my car from the dealer had to have parts of the car repainted due to the problem. To their credit, they were smart enough to put the stock rims back on the car... :lol:

my car whines,and makes weird noise's when i floor it

cant you use vasaline as a lube? i think my buddy had some of that all over his car once...

i have the same damn problem

2 years now and no problems, I always clean the doors with Windex and also the weather stripping I apply some ArmourAll so it won't stick.

That sucks that you use armour all

mine does it now did you guys end up having the dealer repaint the chipped area too or they only readjusted the door?
