Mine is leaking water through the top weld and getting into the inside of the carrier where it is hollow. So, I believe it is rotting through. I was going to do what you did, try and scrape it clean and paint it myself, but with the damage from the inside out I wasnt sure how long that would last. So i said what the hell and asked about warrenty coverage at the dealer. This is a Cady dealer too, not a hummer dealer where I bought it. I'm glad there are going to take care of it.
