Hey guys, new to the forum. I've got a 2009 Forester and I'm looking for some mud flap info. I've done some reading and it looks like the Rally Armor flaps are highly recommended.
I have a question about how the Rally Armor flaps are secured to the vehicle. I understand that no drilling is required. But do the sheet metal screws actually screw into the existing mounting holes (resulting in metal on metal contact), or do they screw into the polygon clips that are inserted over the mounting holes (no metal on metal contact)? My concern here is the metal on metal contact. I live near Chicago and salt gets everywhere during the winter. If the screws scratch up the metal mounting holes, I'm thinking that the holes would start to rust pretty quickly, and I'd obviously like to avoid that. Anyone with the Rally Armor flaps able to comment? Thanks!
