Thanks for your response - which particular Dinitrol product do you recommend? There are a few but this one caught my eye:
DINITROL RC900 RUST CONVERTER & PRIMER 400ml AEROSOL
Time to resurrect this thread and get an update...
My W211 estate rear wheel arch rust is blooming nicely but I think it is time to stop it making more progress (might also be too late!). Interested to see your use of Dinatrol - never heard of it but a quick Google tells me it is a "corrosion...
mbau - I fully appreciate your puzzlement at these water ingress problems - they do manifest in some very odd ways indeed! Welcome to the forum by the way :)
I eventually got round to resealing/resetting the tailgate opening rubber seal about 2 years ago. Took the whole thing off thoroughly cleaned all muck/grease/debris off both the seal and the flange and used 'Sikaflex 221' gun-applied rubber sealing compound gunned into the continuous 'gap' in...
