Just had some work done on a rust rear-arch ( )and a dint. The car came back without the plastic strips over the arch.

the (owner) of the bodyshop (scooby specialist) had just called me to say he has no problems re-fitting them but in his opinion they just hold mud etc and can contribute to rust problems - so keep them off. I'm quite happy with his professional opinion but he said to ask around the Subaru community....so I'm asking Scoobynet.

Any thoughts?

 

ive not got them on my RA mate....to me i would say hes spot on . i can get right under mine and clean them no probs then some underseal .....less weight to mate

 

ha ha - never thought of that. My car is now even faster lol

I do always clean them when washing.....but I (was) never all that thorough about it.

Thanks for the reply...anybody else?

 

*bump*

Any more thoughts?
