MIne were fine mate. it's only water after all. Spray some WD40 into the mechanism when they're dry to make sure you shift any water left over and to lubricate it. Mine didn't rust or anything. They're infact, in someone elses car after doing 3 years in 2 of my cars. Still in perfect nick

Absoluetly, DON'T tell your wife. And also, don't ever let her catch baking paint on using the kitchen oven......................


I did my rocker cover and got caught. Oh boy......

Put them in something, a towel, or a bra-bag.

I know, I know.... I am ashamed to know what one of those is
