I've recently noticed a small spot of rust on the roof(about an eighth of an inch across). How do I treat this problem?

Take it to a dealership, that is a warranty issue.

Body corrosion is covered much farther in years and miles then the powertrain warranty. I believe it's 8/80, but don't quote me.

Not sure, but I think rust is covered if it rusts through only. They call that perforation.

The body is covered for 5 years from rust through and paint defects.
