Default corrosion under paint under warranty

I have 2 months anti corrosion warranty left on 2013 XKR

I have bubbling on roof coming from hinge area on drivers side and also on near side rear wheel arch on the front part about 1 inch square, hoping to roof repair will not be a issue with JLR, but what about arch repair will they refuse if claiming its from a stone chip.
thanks for advise.

my car is Italian racing red, so is a smart repair is impossible

The only way to find out is to take it in to a Jaguar dealer and see what they say. BTW I have never heard of anyone making a claim on the corrosion warranty. It will be interesting to find out how your experience with the dealer goes. You should post some pictures of the problem areas.

I had corrosion which I believe was from a stone chip. This was on the offside wing behind the door, circled is what I think was a stone chip. This was repaired without cost to me by the supplying dealer but they didn't confirm whether it was at their cost or Jaguars.
