It's a plastic tailgate so they had to put some ferrous metal in there somewhere, and of course, leave it untreated.... Pete

Thank God I have a “poverty spec” car, without roof drains or Dynamic Response corrosion to worry about, although my crankshaft is forged from high-density carotene, of course (yawn)

May be not a rust trap, but if you want even more paranoia, pull out your front inner wing liners and check out the amount of leafs and stuff in there. |

Its been mentioned before, there's nothing really to stop (unless you park your car in a garage and only take it out in summer) leaves from near the bonnet hinge from dropping down inside the wing in the void between the wing and the body, the foam doesn't really do much. |
