Something I noticed when I started working on my car after it had stood unused for 22 years: Little or no rust where the clips pass through the body panels; but, where the pointy rear ends of the (chromed) trim strips at the back touched the paint (note: merely touched) rust had developed that penetrated the paint and the body panel to produce a hole where there was no hole before. Here are pics of the right and left hand sides. I am aware: chrome + steel = galvanic action, but I didn’t know that the action could be so powerful.
