Good morning!Guys.I will sure let you know when I have ready to fix my Nissan rusting car roof.One of my friend's Wira having the same problem too,he recommended me using WD40,or any lubricant oil which is rust cure and protect.He use the lubricant to spray onto the painted roof surface,then using cloth to polish until it spread even the whole surface.He said this perhaps could be help to stop the rust process,and we both trying it now.In fact the owner before me had sent my Sentra to the workshop before,they grind it and repaint,unfortunately after half a year I brought it over,the pimples shape emboss again clearly on the paint surface.Kenneth Fong,This rusting incident could be happened is because of the manufacturing failure!They using those glu which contain salty ingrediant,to stick the cushion and ceiling stuffs where underneath the roof metal,these glu got too strong chemical reaction until it cause the metal become rust from inside the metal,mean the rust is started from inside but not from outside the roof metal!My neighbour's Wira got such same rusty problem too,one of his friend who once worked for Proton told him about the glu.He said Proton had wrongly brought in a huge volumn of those glu,and the rust will only started make effect after few years time,so they just ignore and finished using these glus.Perhaps new generation of Proton car won't have these problem.However,this is just what he claim,maybe just a rumour,I am not sure and nobody know.This is why I want to try WD40 first,see weather the rusty metal can absorb the oil and stop the rust process,if it is getting worst again...I would do something.Thanks Ary4145!I will keep you in mind.One More Thing,are you guys also driving Nissan Sentra and having these rusty problem?I had email Nissan Japan before,they did reply me and ask Tan Chong Motor in KL to contact me.But Tan Chong called and asking me for the service record and want to take a look for the car,unfortunately these are all not F.O.C.and I think they will just send over to their contract mechanic shop and get it fix,perhaps not cheap too!So I just put it aside first for temporary.What I think is,if all of you having such same problem to your Nissan car,can we form a Nissan Club and complain to Nissan Japan,asking them to make a campaign to fix for all of us with F.O.C.?This is sound humiliate but if the club is strong enough?Anything can be happened in this world,as Nissan have to maintain their good reputation as well!Anyway,just an idea of mine...Here below is an email reply from Nissan Japan Co.(email :[email protected]).......Talk to you guys soon!
