Anyone have rusty mounts/hinges like mine? Have only just noticed it so not sure if it’s been like that since it came from the factory.

Don’t think it’s a water leak as it’s too localised and don’t see any other wetness

Yes, I've noticed rust stains on the fabric next to the hinges on mine. Can't image where the water comes from.

Same here. Not wet and with the hard shell porsche boot liner so if there is water it has to come from below..

Mine is a June 16 delivery. Edited to say: I will be asking the OPC to have a look at it when it's in for it's 20k service next month.

It will be interesting to hear from keelolo too if it's is the same manufacturing age.

My GTS was manufactured a little earlier than that but was delayed due to the PCM/Earthquake issue so didn't collect until July. Checked my hinges today and no signs of rust at all. Have you checked in the spare wheel well to see if there are signs of damp? Years ago I had a Saab with a damp boot and it turned out that a grommet had perished and was letting in water.
