I spoke to C-Dan last week for quite a while about a bunch of cruiser-stuff -- it's like talking to McCartney about the Beatles -- this guy knows his stuff!!
One thing we discussed was my rear deflector and that it was a dealer add-on (read, drills in the hatch) and whether to remove it or not -- we agreed that there was nothing wrong with keeping the wing on there and that it couldn't do much more damage than it had already done, except if the plastic gaskets vibrated away to nothing, rubbing the deflector to the clear-coat --
-- upon inspecting the deflector's mount, I noticed there's some signs of RUST where the tech mounted the wing -- granted, this is 9 years later -- but my question is WHAT TO DO -- remove the wing and repaint the hatch (anal, anal), remove the wing and plug the holes with washers and the like (exactly what would you plug them with?) or just keep the wing on??
THANKS ALL for your help on this --- rust SUCKS!!
