Well... something that kept me sleppless at night.
Removed inner cover & mud flaps.
Picture show left wheel house, front side, rust due to gravel and salt I guess. Also rust underneth a string of body "paint", some white hard stuff.. We call it "karosskitt". Two metal peices were rust grown was hidden underneth. Made the surfaces to bare metal and painted them.

This is rust under the inside plastic cover, also were two metal pieces meet. Grinded it to bare metal and new coating.

I did what I could do to fix this. Scraped, grinded and brusched before I cleaned and covered it with paint proper coating. Right side was only the gravel and salt spray to fix, what I could see.
Gotta say the GM can do this better.. Good with plastic inner cover but without proper coating the rust will come anyway. I wonder if GM even care, cause this is a disaster. Car is an 2011 for god sake.
