Hi Folks,
Have any of you seen bubbles appear under the paint of their A4 along the channel where you would normally mount a roof rack? It would appear that the run off from the windscreen has managed to penetrate the rubber seal and react with the metal underneath the paint. I have a 2003 A4 and first noticed this last week but I think it's been there for a while. The warranty states perforation which would mean that the rust has eaten a hole in the metal so probably isn’t covered.
I called my local audi service centre and they said call and they will take photos send the claim to Audi and that claim as each case is accessed on a case by case basis so they wouldn’t be able to say if it would be covered by the warranty.
Has anyone else experience of this?
