Every manufacturer that I know of has at least a 5 year/60kmi corrosion warranty. Regardless of what a dealer would say, if it has that warranty (easy to find out), it WILL be covered. It might require you to call Mitsu itself, but the dealer would be breaking the law if in the end they didn't follow through. You just may need to be persistent. This is the reason why I let my local dealer do routing maintenance on my vehicles. They're a lot more likely to go to bat for you if you're a paying customer vs. a PITA that only comes in for warranty work. I've have it work in my favor before, with several different vehicles.
-Now-
So what if you have hail damage? If the rust is to the point where it actually started rotting the metal, you still should get a new deck lid. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand rust/rot doesn't happen over-night, meaning the trunk obviously started rusting long before you got the hail. I don't see Mitsu paying to cut out the rot, welding in a new piece of metal, and then painting it, so I'm willing to bet you'd simply get a new deck lid. Might wanna give it a shot, a little time invested might yield a new trunk for no money out of your pocket. All the dealer needs to do is file the claim, and if you're installing a CF decklid, they get to bill Mitsu for installation without having to do it. Warranty work pays less than customer pay, but in your case, they get to pay Mitsu for installing it, and they don't have to do anything but hand you the part. That's better than customer pay.
Ya dig?
Good luck
It is going to cost over $300 to fix the hail damage. and being that the rust isn't thru on the trunk Mitsubishi will not cover it after 3yr/36k. I have tried to get it worked out but it isn't rusted through so they will not cover it.

STUPID thing let me tell you.

I have bene taking my wing off and on for a month now. Even bought a rexspeed spoiler. Still nothing has the pop of the stock spoiler if you can get over the picnic table style.
