Hello Doug,I installed the Steeda 555 5205 Jacking Rails in June 2016 ... absolutely loved their function !!
After the first winter they were already starting to rust and getting uglier after each winter.
4+ years & 4 winters later I jacked my car up by the rails last weekend to work on rear brakes and as I lowered onto the jack stands at the ends I saw them crunch down a bit. Well they came right off after that and into the steel scrap bin.
Besides O.E. bare hardware & bolts etc. they were the only RUSTY painted parts on the bottom of this 88k mile car ... either poor powder-coating or poor prep beforehand.
The paint/powdercoating on trailer hitches does not hold up as long as it used to either, so guessing today's coatings may not be as good as they used to be.

These jacking rails can take a beating under the car and when exposed to the harsh elements - anything can happen once a section is exposed to those elements.
With that being said, shoot me your order number and I’ll review this with our manufacturing team and we’ll get you taken care of.
