Don't know what that's going to do? Especially since the corrosion shows up in other places besides the hinges. Like on your hood, door panels and window frame. I've seen Jeeps with it in many different spots that aren't even near the hinges.
I wonder how much weight steel would add? Maybe do carbon fiber instead expensive but worth it if you're Jeep is a forever Jeep. Plus the cost of Carbon fiber price have come down over the years.
I would imagine it 's a safety concern. All crash tests done with aluminum. ?
I'm not talking about making the entire Jeep Carbon fiber. And I was talking about owners that are having problems adding the carbon fiber parts not the factory. Even still there are exotic cars that come made with carbon fiber from the factory.
I don't think so. Not anymore. Aluminum is not really the issue, but an issue with manufacturing. Plenty of other cars and trucks using aluminum without any issues. Cross contamination and poorly painted parts.
Silver is tough to match - color and how the metallic paint lays. While the paint quality may look good, future resale will be affected since the slight mismatch is apparent. Not sure how to resolve - just a fact.I got my Jeep back Wednesday. A couple notes:
The paint match is not perfect. The doors and hood are a lighter shade, not by much, but you can see it.
The paint quality is outstanding. They actually resprayed the entire door panels and I lost some scratches.
Thoughts on if I should try to get this paint match fixed or is this acceptable? I wonder if they’d respray my exterior body to match the doors? I thought maybe I could live with it, but it kind of does bother me. What’s your opinions? I guess if they aren’t willing to help me any further, I could always look into a vinyl wrap someday…. (Note, i did take pictures in the most obvious lighting and angles I could get)

Yes it is, I have both on mine.Mine isn’t bubbling where the bolt is it’s the side by of the hinge pin. But I guess it’s the same thing?
That would bother me also and having done body work, I can tell you that silver-ish colors are difficult to match, particularly if they are high metallic. If it were me, I would ask about the remainder of the vehicle and perhaps they might even split the cost if not covering in full.
What a pain the ass this situation is.
