Here's a good article/explanation on the why it happens with stainless steel fasteners and the different solutions. Definitely something that should have been addressed earlier by BD, and can be addressed in a few ways, including different specs on the stainless steel fasteners.
Welcome to the conversation? Are you kidding me, you represent 4x4 and you are making trolling comments? The only reason I know of this issue is “I” brought it up! Neither BD or 4x4 sent me communication on this issue. Absolutely no reason both shouldn’t have sent out an email proactively letting customers know about the issue. Not a big deal for anyone to go buy new hardware or anti-seize but it is a big deal to knowingly have an issue and not let customers know about the issue. Even bigger deal having a rep troll this forum. Maybe you should have emailed customer instead of making troll comments on forums! I reached out on this forum or an actual issue and “you” are replying is this fashion.Hi there, welcome to the conversationIf you scroll up you'll see we have been addressing this AND Baja Designs has addressed this as well...
You're on here arguing as if nobody is doing anything. Yet we've already made numerous replies telling folks Baja has sent us anti-seize lubricant and we're including them with kits. We've also replaced hardware if customers need it. Not everybody has an issue FYI. I get it, you had an issue, but not everybody has an issue it's only a few folks who were having issues. So why would we email hundreds upon hundreds of customers when a select few folks had issues? We address issues on a 1 on 1 basis and to help avoid ANY issues in the future, we've worked with Baja to include the anti-seize lubricant (although I've personally never used it in any of my installs but that's not to say it won't help folks avoid any possible issues).
