Just bought a Holden Rodeo dual cab, I drove from
Adelaide to
Perth, checked out
Perth, then started driving
home along the coast. I noticed some stone chips on the front edge of the left rear door below the door moulding. I didn't think much of it and continued our great trip. By the time I got back to
Adelaide this small area was covered in stone chips. Upon closer inspection the rear door was over flush in this area by 3mm and in my opinion the door being over flush has created this problem. Pictures below.
Do you guys agree and should Holden cover it under warranty?

Had a similar problem with my Triton, with stones hitting the leading edge of the tray & bouncing off the paint work.
Cured this problem by fitting side steps which stopped all the rubbish comming up from the front wheels.
End result was no more stone chips.
Hope this gives you idears.

I'm with Bushy04 ... Go the side steps.
They'll also protect the bodywork from sticks that fly up when you drive over them.
My steps have taken a few heavy hits that would've otherwise made a real mess of the paintwork.
Big saver on sand-driving too. Better to sand-blast
the steps than the sills and lower doors.
