As with the many others, I have reached the point where the level of rust on my white 2006 2500 Sprinter has gone from annoying to down right unacceptable. I first noticed rust on all high spots and edges like doors, gutters, seams, etc after about 3 months. Now, at about 10 months, I have signs of rust coming up thru the paint on flat exterior surfaces as well as the worst possible nightmare... around the windshield. I've never even HEARD of anything this ridiculous. Even Fords aren't close to that bad.
I live in the same area as Sikwan where it is dry (almost year round) with no salt in the atmosphere and no salt on the roads.
Anyways, out of all of you that have stated they have similar problems with their Sprinters, have any of you had any success with warranties? How did you get it taken care of and with whom? The only corrosion warranty information I could find seemed to state that sheet-metal had to be perforated all the way thru, as opposed to only rust.
Any advice or guidance you guys may have would be greatly appreciated.

Note: Other than the lack of paint and the windshied wipers, the Sprinter is the coolest vehicle I've ever owned.
