ahmedk Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Talking about Mazda Miata, the most common and serious spot to find rust is in the lower door sills in front of the rear wheel. This is a structural problem often found. So before you buy a used car look for bubbles on the lower sill panels that do not have the same pebbled texture. Keep it polished and maintain well.
