Rusty Brava!
Not mine, but this one on eBay. Look at the pic of the rust over the windscreen!

Re: Rusty Brava!
I've never seen rust like that on a Bravo/a either. It's only 6 years old!

Re: Rusty Brava!

That's bad, you would think they would have done something about it by now!

Re: Rusty Brava!
little bit rust above the windscreen,which is hardly noticable realy as shown on photo.
hardly noticeable, but going to cost a fortune if ignored

But there's so little you can do with rust on an irreplaceable part!

Re: Rusty Brava!
I think Dave hit the nail on the head above. It had to have been damaged.

Roof skin can be replaced, but it must have been damaged, very few cars rust up there (except all rovers EVER)

Re: Rusty Brava!
The point is they could have rustproofed and resprayed it when they saw it starting instead of letting it get that bad, OK not a brilliant fix but I honestly don't think anything has been done about it. I have loads of stone chips up there, hence the work I'm planning

Re: Rusty Brava!
My roof is stone chipped as well and if I ever see rust developing I'd treat it straight away.
