Default Rust on Audi A6 2001 1.8T

Our family recently bought a Audi A6 2001 1.8T Auto 6spd Multitronic

On the rear doors of the car on each side there is a triangular black metal piece next to windows.

This seems to be bubbling underneath the paint. Are these parts of the door fixed to the door frame? Can they be replaced? and are they expensive?

I look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hm, I don't have that new of an A6 but if its part of the window trim I would guess it is replaceable.

If its the cars paint thats fixable but it will need to be repainted.

Thanks for your reply. If somebody could confirm that this is replaceable that would be great.

Also would anyone know what it would be called?

Thanks again

Hm, by the looks of the picture it does look replaceable, what its called I don't know but if you go to the dealer and show them it they could look it up on the computer and have detailed pic's of it.

I don't know what the inside of the car looks like but if you open the door I am guessing there is a plastic piece that is covering it. If so remove it It will probably look like the same plastic covers that cars have on the front doors covering the mirrors bolts. Well pry it off it is probly held on by clips and then see what is holding in that piece, its probly screw's or bolts. Hope this helps any.
