Has anyone else heard of a problem with this?

Apparently there have been a few cases of 850 estate bodyshells cracking around the 'D' post, (this is the one that is immediately behind the rear door).

I have been told that it has become 'normal practice' during a service to check for cracking in this area by lifting the interior trim, the lower part of the post being the most likely culprit.

I will certainly be checking mine ASAP!

Thats got me a little worried now because I am going to investigate a little rust staining weeping from beneath the bottom of the window trim at the base of the D post this weekend, wish me luck !
