On my mark 4 1999 Fiesta, I noticed the other day, that there was a nasty rust blister on the lip on the N/S rear arch. I rang Ford to ask about the anti perforation warranty, and they advised me to take it to my nearest approved Ford body shop. The Car came with a 6 year anti perforation warranty, of which there is about 2-3 weeks left.
Does anyone now what the criteria is regarding bodywork under warranty.

Best thing is to take it down to the ford dealer and keep moaning until they sort it out for you. My 99 fiesta also had some bubbles on the arch, I just treated it with a little kurust and then painted over using a colour match. That way I know its been done properly. It is quite a common problem with them....

Good news, I have just recieved a call from Ford saying that the repair on my car will be carried out under warrenty.Very happy, with the service I have got right from the call centre to the dealer.
