No rust here

Must take 14 years to develop rust in sunroof.

Though my car has spent a lot of its life in some country town where rain does not exist 350 days of the year. Place called Muckinboodindarundurupnsville or something... you can tell I'm a city boy cause I can't pronounce the name.

Guess if it had been living near the ocean or in damper environment rust would have shown.

Heh, mazda make a good car body, no rust anywhere that I can see. Red dust under all the carpets, door trims in the cup holders.. no wait Mazda didn't make cup holders... I take it back that they make good cars. :lol:

yep, i got rust too and i haven't seen many astina sun roofs that don't have rust. I've also noticed it on the series 4&5 rx7's.
