This is tempting to sell mine and go back to a Stock FiST hmmmmmmm

Any rusy bubbling on the rear hatch seams or under the antenna?

Here are some underhatch pics. I'll try to find time to take some pics under the antenna this weekend.

Update: on closer inspection I noticed some paint starting to separate along the seam. I found 3 spots and did some scraping. One in the middle and 2 on the right. See pics 79, 78, 77.

Also attached pics with the antenna removed. I asked ChatGPT about it, and I believe the clear coat has experienced "moisture related thickening" as opposed to "moisture related bubbling". When I removed the antenna, the bolt holding the clip was not as tight as I'd have expected for a bolt that size. Could that have resulted in failure of the seal around the antenna?

I did not know about these paint/rust issues with FiSTs before I put the car up for sale here.

Price is negotiable.

Do all fiestas have that even if not driven in winter? Did this car ever get sold?

I have seen so many recently and all of them have some level of rust. I actually discovered rust at the bottom inside of the hatch on my car. It’s seen rain maybe 20 times and is kept 24/7 in a climate controlled garage with constantly moving air. I ALWAYS clean it too, usually with waterless car wash. Cars dont rust in Atlanta. My Tacoma sat outside for ten years and has zero rust. The paint prep on these cars is absolute garbage. If my car has rust, every one of them will have it at some point. I couldn’t believe it when I opened the hatch to check last weekend.
