i'm not sure how to prevent it, my hatch was perfect till just over 2 years ago. hell i thought i had avoided the hatch rust somehow... then the bubbles started forming pretty slowly, but once they opened up all hell breaks loose on your hatch. i tried putting rust convertor on the spot earlier on but it was a losing fight. u can see on my hatch how the left side isn't bad, it didn't start bubbling till probbaly 2 months ago but its already starting to stain as u can see. i expect it to be pretty bad and noticable by the end of summertime
an update: i called another junkyard hoping to find a black hatch, but theres was red as well and they wanted $175 for the same thing!!
