Found the cause of all the rust on uk models, after our recent wet summer noticed a sloshing sound when pulling off, searched on line found that if the hood drains become blocked the rainwater ends up in the sills, if the sill drains are blocked it stays and sloshes around, causing corosion. Drilled an 8mm hole in both sides, pax side must have had at least a couple of pints in it, clean water though as I caught it early. I am now going to clear the drains and thinking about dranage when fitting a soft top kit.
