Thinking about getting a set of the Rocky Road Super Sliders. Has anyone had an issue with rust on their Rene after installing them? I'm a bit concerned about the holes the nutserts go in, since installing the nutserts would probably eat away at any paint I'd apply to the holes. I am also wondering if there's any issue with the rail being right up against the body? I thought about putting some weather stripping in there, but figured that could cause extra movement and be counterproductive. Been doing lots of reading and I'm thinking if I do a few coats of paint on the holes, then install the nutserts with wet paint on them and then do a good job with Fluild Film in the nutsert holes to get in the body and around the nutserts I should be okay. No matter what I do, I plan on taking them off annually to inspect and repaint and re-Fluid Film areas. Thanks!
The nutserts are a very tight fit, they were a pain to get in. Not sure they will come out easily. The regular nuts and bolts on the bottom pinch weld area are easier to take off and reapply.
I went with the Rocky Road Super Sliders (Kickers). The nutserts are a thick rubber and shouldn't wear away the painted surface. Weather stripping would probably do more harm than good because of the possibility of moisture retention. I painted the holes after drilling, the rubber of the nutserts should keep the moisture/water away from the hole after the bolts are tightened down.
