Ok I’m replacing my cab mounted ant question

[dolsen]

is that the metal bottom of the ant that is corroded so bad ?
freaky hellllll
thats unacceptable imo

whichs brings up the next question. do i have to drop headliner to get any off and apply some preservative to mine

We used to get a TON of internal complaints at KTP on the exp/nav about dirt under paint in the “horse collar” area, that’s the area of metal when you open the lift gate, around the opening. So the only time it was visible was when the lift gate was open. By internal complaints, I’m referring to the end of line inspectors would see it and they’d complain and quality would require us to fix it, costing us hundreds or thousand of hours in repair time

we never had a warranty claim from a customer and it didn’t affect form fit or function in ANY way, and after a year to 18 months we finally got them to drop it.

my point is, if you never see it, and it doesn’t affect anything, what does it matter?

thats good to know
my exp i wiped that area down at every wash. it was always nasty as heck in just a few days. add in the area under the lift glass.
my wifes edge is same way. trapps crap all around
but these ant should have the metal treated and coated. its not a ground

I certainly don’t disagree they could’ve done more to prevent corrosion on that piece, but had you not seen that pic, it’s likely you would’ve never known and probably won’t ever have an issue with it.

i would have noticed right away if powder or any weirdness showed up
i have been chasing corrosion and its prevention for over 3 decades.

This explains why you feel so strongly then!
