Even with the extensive off roading and rough terrain I subject my truck too, I have no signs of rust.

I called my service managr this morning and he said that as long as there were no significant sign of off-road use, he would take care of it. Wow! But then, Bellevue Hummer has always taken care of any issue for me under warranty.

I think you actually have to come in CONTACT with the water to promote rust.

PhilD,devilsfan,& lasvegas Thank you guys for the response. I purchased my H2 from Acron Ohio and drove it back to Las Vegas. It had 3000 miles on it at the time of purchase and I can only assume that some of that driving was done on the winter salted roads of Ohio. Phil under my H2 looks like yours did before you painted. Great job by the way. I think I will try some paint since (Tobin Hummer) my local dealer and frankly the only dealer in Southern Nv are being such asses about the issue. I didn't ask to have it covered by warranty I simply asked to have them take care of the issue and I got attitude back from them and a refusual to do anything. I better not start on my bitch list about Tobin needless to say I'm very unhappy with the manner I have been treated with this issue and several others.

Thanks again guys for your feedback regarding rust and Ziebart.

Mine rusted pretty badly and I took care of it with a couple of cans of black spray paint. You think I would be used to it by now because I have owned several GM products that did the same thing, you just notice it more on the H2 because it sits higher. I don't believe it is a warranty issue as much it is a factory policy not to paint certain parts. Look at the driveshafts on most GM trucks, they are all rusty because they aren't painted from the factory. I guess GM feels like it is up to each owner if they want to do something about it.

Try Por 15. It really worked on my Pinzgauer 4x4.

""Since POR-15 actually bonds to metal, the underlying surface does not have to be sanded before application. As long as loose and flaking rust are removed from the surface, an application of POR-15 will not only cover up the rust and prevent it from spreading, but will also strengthen the underlying metal and seal holes by forming its own membrane.""

Thanks for the heads up regarding POR-15 I will look into it and see if I can find a paint shop or someone to apply it to the under side of my H2.

Also Welcome to the forum and assuming you've made your purchase of an H2 enjoy.
