I HAVE RUST COMING THRU THE 1/4 PANEL IN FRONT OF MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL. I ALSO HAVE RUST ALL ALONG THE INSIDE DOOR BOTTOM BETWEEN THE TWO DRAIN HOLES, ON BOTH FRONT DOORS. AFTER REALIZING THAT THERE IS A 5 YEAR CORROSION WARRANTY, I WENT TO THE FORD DEALER WHO TOLD ME HE HAS SEVERAL WINDSTARS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT FORD IS GOING TO DO. MINE HAPPENED TO BE OUT OF WARRANTY IN MAY AND HERE IT IS JULY. WHAT GARBAGE FORD IS PUTTING OUT. MY 1996 DODGE TRUCK STILL DOES NOT HAVE ANY RUST ON IT!

We've been to an independent body shop. They don't do rust repair, and said it was a manufacturing problem with the quarter panels not properly sealed. We went to Ford's body shop. They estimated $900 to just fix the part that's rusting. We're going to call Ford Corp. next. Both body shops said this was not supposed to happen.
