If you pull out one of the rubber inserts you could be quite shocked to find just how much corrosion has started to attack the fixing bolts

I completely stripped mine & replaced with stainless fixings & tried to assemble 'wet' with everything doused in Waxoil, problem is the alloy extrusions trap water against your paintwork & then the rubbers trap water in the channel

Dave W, did a Miscellany write up on this a few years ago & the photos were of my Mog
