Lexus IS Cabrio Rust repair
Can the rust in my Lexus IS Cabrio be repaired?
Rust is one of the dreaded problems that face owners of older Lexus IS Cabrio's or Lexus IS Cabrio's that are driven in salty conditions. Often occurring in areas that trap moisture, such as behind quarter panels and underneath windscreens, the visible signs of rust include bubbling paint and brown flaking metal. These areas need to be taken care of, otherwise your Lexus IS Cabrio may rust away to nothing!
That’s where rust repairs come in. Depending on the location and severity of rust on your Lexus IS Cabrio, a simple clean off of surface rust and treatment with a rust converter may be all that is required, or full removal of the rotted metal and replacement with fresh metal if the damage is severe. Depending on where the rust is located, the windscreen or other components may need to be removed from your Lexus IS Cabrio to allow access to the affected area.
Panel repair shops, smash repairers or vehicle restoration businesses are the go-to places to have the rust repaired on your Lexus IS Cabrio. You will often be without your Lexus IS Cabrio for a number of days or weeks, depending on the amount of work required. Getting your Lexus IS Cabrio inspected by a professional will guide you on whether these repairs are economical, or if your Lexus IS Cabrio might be better off heading to the great car yard in the sky.
