:shock: Looks like it is coming from under the coating where the fold is. There metal is more porus at this point and if any contamination got in before coating it could be the root cause, but there must be a mechanical engineer here to somewhere (Colin?)

Mine is Sep 16 build.

The car is booked in at West London OPC for some other niggles later this week so I will ask them to look at this as well.

The has now built up quite a list at 1.5 years old and 8k miles
Moaning from steering when wheel turning clockwise
Excess fuel/overflow in filler area blocked
Nearside rattle from rear when going over uneven surfaces, possibly loose exhaust
Wind whistle from drivers side at 70mph
...
And now rusty rear seat hinges :roll:

The fuel filler overflow is just crud blocking the drain hole; your little finger is ideal for clearing (just a quick wiggle like in your ear before cotton buds were invented😊)

Maybe a very small bit of rust on my Sep 15 SD - photo taken with the seats folded. To be honest I couldn't see it with the naked eye - only when I used flash and then viewed on a monitor. I won't let it worry me … :?
