This is rather unusual. VERY unusual given the short amount of time you had yours.

Nate, I'm in California about 12 miles inland, and my SV's under covered parking (no rain on my baby!); I've never had any problems with oxidation out here before. The only thing I can think of is a ride in the rain a few months ago, but the engine heat should have taken care of any water in there. Perhaps that particular bolt's anticorrosion coatings weren't up to the job?This is rather unusual. VERY unusual given the short amount of time you had yours.

aluminum oxide.What really gets me is the whitish liquid. I can't for the life of me think of what would cause that, or where that would come from.

And I only had those sliders in for 2.5 months. Currently, a friend of mine has them for his SV, but is waiting to find out more about this issue before he installs the bolt.
