Well, it happened :( After leaving the car outside entire winter, the corrosion caught up with me and I now have paint bubbling on 3 different places on my hood (2 opposite corners above headlights and one dead center where the stripe is). I was so happy that my car didnt have the rust problem all this time (54 months/67,000 miles), but my luck ran out.
I am aware there is corrosion warranty which is 5 years unlimited miles (I have 6 months left). What I dont know is how this repair is done. I know a new hood has to be sent and it has to be painted. This is where I have concerns:
- Will this show up in carfax? Last thing I want is carfax showing "body work" even though there is no accident.
- Entire front end of the car is wrapped in xpel. I am guessing the paint of the hood has to be blended? This means the xpel on all other panels (quarter panels and bumper) needs to be removed? Or actually does it need to be blended? Because xpel was put on at 500 miles, the paint in those panels should be pristine.
- Do you think the body shop can apply the stripe like factory?
Anything else I should know be worried about? Or should I just sell the car and get out before I go down this path because this path will be filled with headache and agony?
