Default 2003/2004 Blobeyes - rust?

Is there anything to look out for rust wise on 2003/2004 vintage blobeyes?

Do they suffer from the same rear arch issue as the classics?

Anything else I should know?

top of windscreen where it meets the roof

underneath front bumper/chassis rail i think

open the boot and look at where the water drains down (on the outside of the rubber seal) mine has a few little rust spots there,i imagine its an area that never gets washed and it traps the dirt there

Well mine is a 2005 and no problems as far as I am aware, even after going out in all that snow.

no rust problems really, the arches are much better than the classics, the cross member issue was more on the bugs than blobs but its a bolt on part anyway and not that hard to replace.
