Wira issues

[RENESIS VIII]

Actually thought mine escape the rust problem. Many within 2 years already pop out. Mine I bought second hand already 4 years old from mechnic's brother. Rust came after 2 years of use meaning total 6 years before the rust pop out.....

Yours if I am not mistaken is the initial batch of Wira isn't it? 1994? Seems like they directly inherited the glue/adhesive problem found in Mitsubishi cars in that era. When rebadge, follow everything including manufacturing methods.

For mine I totally replaced the whole roof, get rid of the rust once and for all :)

Your car is at top tier sleeper level.

That is not very old yet. Mine appeared like around 15 years later on roof.

Still, not acceptable to have rust coming out of body panels when the paint is in good condition. More like defect instead of wear and tear.

Mitsubishi did not use the glue adhesive method back then in your VR era. Speaking of old Mitsubishi related cars, my mechanic's old 8 Valve Magma Saga doesn't suffer from rust issue either. His car I think is a 1988 model.
