And because it's steel it's going to rust. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

Oh my god, not again!!!! Will there ever be an ending?
At least the hailstorm-spots with the flaking paint won't rust but only corrode http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic20788.html |

I believe Hail is becoming more regular.
We have had some shocking hail storms in Aus recently.....HUGE damage, to cars & houses. My Astra was out in a Hail storm......over 300 dents. Luckily I have a friend who runs a dent removal business....he is the "Guru"...got it back to new again...but it's a very traumatic experience seeing your "pride & joy" being "smashed." Cheers, Pickles. |

A full-length roof-rack is very reassuring in a violent hailstorm!

Glad to hear that. But in this case that Solihull realised it's a good idea to do that I wonder why they don't galvanise all the other parts which are a permanent rusty problem like door hinges, screws, mudguard brackets, rear steps.......... |
