Corrosion on door

[Rivendell]

My 16 registration car has some corrosion on the door panel. It hasn’t broken the surface yet, but you can see it bubbling beneath. Does anyone have any experience of claiming on the anticorrosion warranty? On the face of it, this looks pretty black and

white but you never know with these things .,,

Jaguars have a 6 year paint and corrosion warranty - take it to a dealership and get them to fix it!

Haven’t seen that before on an F. Although I’ve had previous aluminium panels cars before that can still bubble paint if water gets under the paint work.

Has it got underneath via a stone chip?
I’m sure Jag would honour that. I certainly think a visit to dealer should sort that out.

Thanks for the replies. I don’t think there’s much doubt that corrosion beneath the paint is causing the paint to bubble up, but I had a tricky experience convincing a BMW dealership of something similar a few years ago. I shall take it to Beadles at Watford next week. Hopefully they’ll see it the same way.

Beadles in Sidcup honoured a huge amount of corrosion in the boot on my 2014 V6S with 3 months until the paint and corrosion warranty ran out including all new electrics in the boot. A bit of door corrosion should be sorted easily!

Reassuring. Thank you.

I've had exactly the same issue on the leafing edge of the passenger door. No scratch or chip present. Taking to the dealers bodyshop tomorrow as per service manager's request

By way of an update, car was bought from Taggarts of Glasgow; now part of Lookers. Took to their bodyshop and the technician took photos etc and said he would be in touch after speaking to warranty administrator. Didn't hint it would be an issue so fingers crossed.

Ditto, although the Beadles bodyshop man started his inspection by suggesting the door had been resprayed. Fortunately, paint depth readings showed it hadn’t. Quite a process though. Inspection by bodyshop, second inspection by technician. Written report etc and then approval for a warrantee repair follows in about a week. Fingers crossed here too!
