I do not know if this is any help or not. My 2002 Suburban was rusting around the rear tailgate. Chevrolet still honored it under the 10 year/100,000 mile rust guarantee. They had the body shop that they use replace my tailgate and paint it. I never had any problem with that at all. They were very helpful and there was little or no paperwork involved whatsoever.
