w210 door corrosion recall?
I know there was a recall or TSB about corrosion issues on some of the W220 cars from 2000 - 2002 or so - was there a similar recall for the W210 E-class?
My 2002 E430 has some rust developing right along the bottom lip of the front passenger door. Just wondering if it is a known problem or somewhat unique to my car.

Given the spring perch debacle with the W210 series... I would not put it past the chassis... but then again any car will rust to nothing given the right circumstances...

There was a bulletin to spray wax sealant under the weatherstrip, It applied to my 01, and they did it? Just recently I found rust and peeling paint under both front doors. The dealer examined it, and the body shop came up with figure of around $1500. I have a good friend (shop manager) who got the the dealership to agree to cover $500 of it. After some more negotiation, the body shop agreed to do the repaint at "warranty" rate of $1200 and split the cost 50/50. I am not convinced they did all they promised, they were to repair both fronts and check the rears, I doubt the opened up the doors.
Good luck, in trying to get help
