anti corrosion warranties usually only cover perforation. Which is pretty unlikely unless you drive around in the sea a lot.

My rear arches seem to be fine. I've ordered new trims for both front and rear as they're coming away. Perforation warranty would've been useful for me in my first car - Austin Montego, as that had holes all over the rear arches in the end

It's interesting that some people are sufferring from corrosion on the rear arches, as I've yet to see a rusty FL1. My mate has got a '98 model and it's immaculate  Gone - TD4 XS Auto, Sumatra Black, Mud flaps and side strips, clear indicators, private plate, privacy glass

According to my dealers they aren't handed.
Only take seconds to fit. Clean all the dirt off the wheel arch edge before fitting the new ones to prevent rust.  Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Wheel arch protectors my arse ! I have a 2011 white freelander 2 my pride and joy ,,, noticed that these rubbers were distorted on the rear arches ,,, anyhow tonight I have removed them rust rust rust I am absolutely fuming ! This car is a 2011 with 28000 miles,, land rover will be getting a call in the morning ,, quality don't think they can spell it never mind supply it

can someone please post some pics. Not sure where/what these items are

I'll sort some pictures out for yer tomorrow matey ,, these rubber trims ate the so called protector strips that actually fit onto the edge of the wheel arches

cheers!

My freelander is a 2011 plate with 29800 miles on the clock never been off road and never been abused my rubber inserts on all four wheel arches are distorted and there is corrosion on all four arches I'm not best chuffed land rover want stuffing with a cactus for designing this ,, absolutely disgraceful !

I have recently replaced all of the trims on my July 2010 FL2. No sign of any corrosion thankfully - I washed and waxed (twice) before fitting new. There was a small section on one of the rear arches where the paint had flaked off completely (in the gap between the rubber trims) completely but it wasn't corroded. I used some touch up paint and lacquer on that. 2010 Freelander 2 HSE Auto Santorini Black / Ebony Leather

Just to balance the discussion about this topic:
81,000+kms - never had to replace the wheel arch rubber trims - had them off a few times (after each winter) in almost 5yrs of ownership from new - MY2010. No sign of body panel corrosion anywhere.
