I really think that eveyone should take those rocker covers off once a year and clean behind them. There is always dirt that collects in there and with moistuer added to it, it starts the rustiing process. This was the first time I took those off since I bought it last year, and it looked as clean as those pictures, but theere were a lot of dry dirt in there. It seemed as if the car was not driven in the wet at all, but I plan to drive it everyday and now need to pay attention to that. There is also another panel inside the front fender area towards the cabin that would benefit from removal and a cleaning. Merdad
