Rear inner wheel arch liner? was created by Speedboatsteve

Hello,

I’m new to the forum and recently purchased my first Jimny on a 2000 W plate which was an MOT failure. It had the common rust in the boot floor and that has now been fixed however there is also a lot of rust in both rear wheel arch’s, the front wheel arch’s have a plastic inner liner however the rear arch’s don’t, not on mine anyway.
Can anybody tell me if there should be plastic rear wheel arch liners? I can’t seem to find any online.

Thanks, I will keep looking but if not, looks like plenty of Shultz once it’s patched up.

Second vote for no such thing. Also if you are feeling brave have a look at the front body mounts under the plastic liner, they hide another rot spot.

Many liners only prevent washing. Fine dust that sticks to the surface and slowly grind away the rust preventive coating is the only thing that gets behind the liners. Liners also hold water in the sticky dust making the rust wet for longer periods.
If the owner wash the car more often on the underside, and top up the coating, it will most likely rust more slowly or not at all.

I don't wash too often sadly...

Not well enough at least..
