    RS2 trim corrosion

    Just noted a small area at base of rear passenger window rear black metal trim (just above weather strip) is bubbling.
    On closer inspection this has been touched up before very well as you cannot notice it unless you get the light right.
    Has anyone done this before and know the best paint to use after sanding back. Ideally one of these rust treatment paints I guess.

    Or can you replace the trim ?

    Trim replacement isprobably just as easier as sanding and painting,

      Agreed vagparts have them @ £23 each. So sorted although the pop rivets are a bit steep @ 24p each
