Hi all my 07 has rust all along the bottom seem creeping up... it’s starting to look unsightly and is the only rust on the car bar surface rust underneath.

Anyone successfully contained and repaired this? Current stable:
2006 BMW M6
2007 4.2 V8 S/C FF
Gone:
2002 4.4 V8 FF

Expect repairs to last 18 months before blisters start to come back. Replacement is the only real cure.

Try and find a second hand tailgate from a pre 2006 car.

I got my 2011 car in Jan 2015.... and that seam had already been worked on by someone and the paint done.

I put a second hand good one on my TD6 when that started to show, and that was still good when I sold it.

Swap it for a good one if you can. Better than repairing.

I bought my 2011 in 2015 (so 4 years old ) and the upper tailgate was so rusty that they didn’t even argue when I pointed it out , they just said ,we will replace it under warranty.
The replacement is full of Dinitrol, so hopefully it should last .

My 2010 when I bought it was rust free and the first job I did was use Dinitrol inside tailgate so far so good 7 years and still good

BMW era RangeRover tailgates can last at least 16 ¹/₂ years rust free that I know of.

My 07 and 12 were both replaced under warranty due to rust. Chartwells who did them filled both with cavity wax and neither rusted again in the time I had them.

I would go with buying a good second hand one and waxing it up as you won’t have to faff about with glass etc and if you can get one in the right colour then you are golden! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

My 2011 one was replaced under warranty a few months before it expired due to same reason , filled the new one with wax so hopefully won't be an issue again .
