My main concern is rust protection. Thanks for the tip on industrial supply house. I'll have to see what we have in the area. BTW, I installed the OER door seals last night. My doors will not shut, the little black ribbed push-fasteners all broke since they are a little too large and the ribs have zero flexibility (I ended up using small interior screws with thin washers), and they are a little loose coming around the front corners. Very dissapointing! Also, the OER door bumbers (two on each side top and bottom) keep falling off. I'm batting zero for 4 with the OER kit (3. trunk seal and 4. trunk bumbers are problematic as well)!
