Did you put the 10mm self adhesive foam on the back of the wheel arch liners?

...here from a thread I started on VWCC forum over rust spots on my OSR quarter panel at the wheel arch (2019 T6 Ocean). In my case I am sure it's zinc inclusion and looking at your damage I'd say its very likely the same thing. If you google it you'll see its an extremely common problem :(...

I don't think thats rust. I believe it is called zinc inclusion. The right of the 2 is typical of that. Like a tiny mountain surrounded by lots of tiny ones lol.

I think I’ve got a long battle on my hands regarding this paint imperfection / zinc inclusion issue. Thoroughly cleaned my T6 last week and noticed the imperfections. Thanks to the info on this forum, I looked up the zinc inclusion issue and took my van to VW Van centre (Cleckheaton ) where a...

yeah agreed on our aircooled engines I have built always used pistoneeze with high zinc content.

...we DO have a phone to call. We do ring back but often end up just leaving a message. Our main product is the base-rak (stainless steel or zinc plate) of which there are hundreds around and which are universally loved. We have never had one broken in normal use. ~These are in stock and the...

Did you get anywhere with vw on this one? My van is less than 2 years old, 13k miles on it and what looks very much like a zinc inclusion has appeared. Van is generally pretty well looked after and never noticed any stone chip there before, although I'm pretty sure I know what the answer from vw...

Stainless for me - it’s not going to rot and get stuck.

Thanks, I took a couple of photos this morning. Seems to only be on the sliding door.

...to live. @david173 reminded me that Vangear do a floor mounting base for a table - there is a picture on their website that shows how they are held in place - J bolts. https://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/products/m8-x-100-hook-bolt-nut-bright-zinc-plated So I might have a go at my own version.

Haha. Appreciate the sentiment. How smooth do you think these welds need to be? I’ve used an angle grinder to get them pretty flush, but not perfect. I guess they’re hidden below the trim and the floor.

The zinc based primer chemically helps prevent rust. Smooth hammerite just looks similar to body paint. If you have black hammerite a couple of thin coats will be fine. If pedantic just get an aerosol of colour mixed. In its basic form, you’re just protecting the bare metal from rust. If its...

This is the thread I’ve been looking for. Really keen to move my bench back and fairly happy to have a crack at it. I have a T6 factory kombi, just to confirm - the floor mounts can be drilled out and bolted through a reinforcement plate that’s already underneath? And this can be accessed with...

Definitely go stainless, I picked up all the bits I needed from toolstation. They sell 6mm stainless steel bar in 1m lengths which is plenty for fixing the rails. I also got the nylock nuts from there too

...but the road was very long and took up a lot of my time. Would I do it again? Probably not. It was a temporary solution because the same zinc inclusion spots are back with a vengeance and Volkswagen did state that they couldn't guarantee they wouldn't come back in the future and I couldn't...

If you look at roofs of older houses with flashings/soakers around chimneys, you'll often see patches directly below - like this for example : This is due to zinc reacting with the rain, preventing lichen growth. I imagine it's a similar thing with the van.

...to be fitted. The current bolt looks to have what's described as a cap head. I see that there are M8 bolts with a cap head available, not multispline but hex, which might be better suited here? Like this CAP SCREW ALLEN BOLTS SOCKET HEAD HIGH TENSILE 12.9 M3,M4,M5,M6,M8 ZINC PLATED | eBay...

...x M8 hex head bolts (30mm might be long enough) and whatever M8 nuts or rivnuts you desire (i used these COMBY TORQUE TYPE HEXAGON HEX NUTS WITH CAPTIVE TOOTHED LOCK WASHERS STEEL ZINC | eBay ) behind the 10mm holes attached with insulating tape to start them off. M8 rivnuts require an 11mm...
