Hey Guys
I washed my car yesterday and noticed a line of rust creeping up on the roof. It's just above the windshield, where the roof line meets and starts under the rubber. It's about 12 inches across.
What do I do? Is this a warranty issue?
RUST!!!!!

Re: RUST!!!!!
Check your warranty book: http://www.infinitiusa.com/content/dam/ ... _I_WIB.pdf
EXCLUSIONS
This warranty becomes void when damage results from:
1. Accident, collision, faulty installation, or any alteration to the panel, panels, or vehicle that could be reasonably expected to affect the performance of the covered panel.
2. Environmental conditions, such as hail, lightning, or acid rain.
3. Vehicle neglect, abuse, or use of the vehicle for unintended purposes.
4. Stone chips, scratches, or other paint damage that lead to surface rust damage.
5. Cleaning and polishing chemicals, and solvents, including improper undercoating, or other rust prevention materials.
I would take it in and have Infiniti evaluate it.

Re: RUST!!!!!
Few things you can try:
Dr. ColorChip http://www.drcolorchip.com/
OEM Touch UP Paint http://www.nissanraceshop.com/product/3 ... 999ppqxxxx
Touch Up Paint Pen http://www.dragtimes.com/parts/INFINITI ... 53834.html
So far, I've only tried the touch up pen, and I will not recommend it. It's hard to control how much paint to apply on the surface and to have nice finish with the pen tip.
From what people say, it seems like Dr. ColorChip > Touch Up Paint > Touch Up Paint Pen:

Re: RUST!!!!!
Do you happen to have a garage door that is rusty on the bottom part? Sometimes those tiny chip of rusty metal coming from the garage door when you pull or park your car in get`s unnoticed and start to leave rusty residue specially during wet season.
