These aleros all rust by the rear tires. Engineering flaw. I recently repaired my alero. Upon removing the interior panels and the ground effect on the outside. Major rust. Inside of the body panel where they come together. The factory used foam to seal the joints. All this did was seal the water in and cause the rust. I removed the foam, cut out all of the rust, and used fiberglass to do the repair. Every Alero I see has the same issue. Fix it or you will wish you did.
