I was switching out my wifes plates on her CX-9. One of the damn screws is busted off and will not come out. As I was working on this I realized small bubbling of the paint behind where the plate mounts. I am 100% sure this is the beginnings of rust. It appears the water is being trapped behind the plate cover and holding moisture against the paint causing rust. I will get the Mazda dealer today, but needless to say I am very upset. Her CX-9 is 2 years old and sits in the garage all the time. It has less than 15,000 miles. I am not a fan of repainting.
