So I have just bought this UnderCover SwingCase. I am now told that if I install the screws it will beging to rust my truck. Any truth to this?

Sorry .. I need some picture to understand what you are talking about.. but anything I install on my truck gets taking back apart and touched up with paint or what ever is needed to prevent future issues.

If you're concerned about it, install the screws into the brackets (or drill your holes) and then fill the holes with gasket maker before installing the screws for a final time

I haven't had any issues and I'm in the rust belt. I spray everything with Fluid Flim/Corrosion Free though to be safe...

Can drill the holes out in the right spots, hit them with touch up paint, then use rivnuts instead of the self-tapping screws.

All things as mentioned above that I’d do.

If your still concerned, reach out to me and I’ll take the Swing cases off your hands. Certainly wouldn’t want any rust on your Ram…..it never stops.

Pretty dry and mild out here …… no rust :waytogo: :waytogo:
