As above, i can confirm they corrode pretty badly, I had a fair job trying to remove them from my car before it went to the bodyshop, there was still a few that I can't get off.

If their steel in alloy then they will have serious galvanic corrosion unless there's something between them to stop it!!
Shouldn't really be sold with steel screws, best bet it to at least change them for coated ones!
