RUST on Roof - 2002 ES GT
There is some rust beginning to form on the front part of the roof of my car just above the windshield (possibly from a rock chip)...it is actually pitting a bit....NASTY
I called my dealership and they said the paint has a 5 year warranty and that I should bring it in....
I don't think I should settle for BONDO fix...what sort of fix should I expect if it is WARRANTY? A whole new roof?

Yeah, you definately want a new roof, because once the metal has been exposed, the rust will always come back! Tell them to do a good job on this, and if they do crappy job, and this happens again, make them do it again, and again, and again.
