I wonder if it's had a dodgey repair there in the past? The paint looks a bit un-even, it's not unheard of for damage to occur in the factory/delivery and be patched up prior to going on sale. |

Mine had this when I bought it, plus some rust at the top where it meets the D post cover. My body shop mate stripped it back and found it was due to a poor quality repair at some point in its past.

is this the trim at the 'top' of the door (below the glass?) if so i've got 'bubbling' underneath three of the windows its basically a plastic/rubber sleeve over a metal 'core' - so moisture gets underneath and it rusts from the inside - appearing as bubbles i am replacing all mine - cost £126 from Yeovil Land Rover (recommended on here for discount parts) |

I was thinking that the vast majority of RR panels were aluminium and so not easily rust prone ,so are the rear panels just 'standard' metal then? Steve

Not only are they metal - but they're steel. |

The rust burst through at the weekend, so will have to see to it now . Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember Volvo V70 P2 2006 2.4 Petrol 170bhp Estate SE MG Midget Mk1 1962 Previous: L322 Range Rover TDV8 3.6 2008; L322 Range Rover TD6 3.0 2002; P38A Range Rover V8 1999 |
