Hi. I have a 2006 Puck that had the same problem. I unbolted it (best to mark where the screws go, into the struts, with a pencil to make it easier to refit). Take off outer trim, several screws hold it on and will probably be rusty and should be replaced, and also both locks. I used Nitromors paint stripper to remove the old lacquer. Wash it down with water then use a fine wire wool and some elbow grease. Once done to how you like it, apply several coats of Rustins metal lacquer then after cleaning the locks reassemble it all and refit. Looks like almost new.
Hope this helps.
Dave.
