I am concerned about my Explorer passing its safety inspection with all the rust it has. Most of the body is actually very solid. The frame is in excellent condition, as is the floor and all of the areas around the body mounts. The rockers however are trashed. Even though they don't support the floor or anything and so far it is all cosmetic damage, I am worried that the truck could fail safety. It is great mechanically and the frame is perfect, so I'd hate for that to happen. I was wondering if anyone knew the NC inspection rules regarding rust? The truck always passed in PA, and it has passed one year in NC. The truck hasn't seen much if any salt since last year, so I assume that the rust isn't much worse than it was when the truck came here (I have only had it for a couple of months). I searched online for the criteria for a vehicle to pass safety in NC and could not find anything.
