A Savtrans fleet Mercedes-Benz 316 CDI Sprinter urgently required bodywork repairs. The right-hand door was severely damaged by corrosion. Master Dmitri took on the repairs – quickly, cleanly, and professionally.
Rust on the car door – typical causes for a Mercedes Sprinter
Corrosion on transporter doors frequently arises from the following factors:
- Missing or damaged seal – Moisture is penetrating the metal
- Grit salt in winter – attacks the paint layer and the base metal
- Minor scratches or stone chips – untreated, will allow rust to enter
- Vehicle age – older protective layers lose their effectiveness
Detecting body damage on a Sprinter – how we inspect your vehicle
Master Dmitri inspected the door thoroughly. The result of the assessment:
- Visible signs of corrosion – the metal had rusted through at several points
- Structural damage – the door had to be removed and laid flat
- Scope of damage clearly defined – targeted removal of affected areas planned
Door welding & applying rust protection – Body repair process
The repair was carried out in clearly defined steps:
- Removal of the door and placement on a work surface
- Removal of corroded metal areas
- Cutting and welding in a new piece of metal
- Filling the weld seam for a smooth finish
- Applying a protective primer against subsequent corrosion
