Does anyone know what the rust/corrosion warranty is on a Porsche? I've got a small stonechip on a door which looks like it's bubbling slightly under the paint.

Cheers

Depends on the service history. If it is pure OPC and also the annual bodywork inspection with all stamps in the book, they may consider it.
My 2 year old Cayman suffered the corrosion under the front bonnet catch (quite common) and was rejected as it did not have the bodywork inspection at 12 months.

They aren't going to warranty a stone chip I'm afraid. The anti corrosion warranty from nearly all manufacturers will cover rusting from the inside out only. A stone chip is external damage and they will argue that it should have been repaired before rust was allowed to set in

Dealership bodyshops arent very good. Look for a classic car restoration place in the area, their work will be completed to a significantly higher standard.
