solteroblues, I did some checking this weekend on this thread, a little bit further than what we discussed last week. My Nissan service rep here in DFW definitely said I was on target with it being humidity related and AC and rapid cabin temperature shifts. I just noticed your location - and yeah, you have high humidity capability.

He said that the CLR idea (diluted calcium lime rust remover) won't hurt the finish.

The other point I made about using a silicone based oil on the parts to prevent water etching was also seconded by him. He came up with a rather ingenious form of the oil too.....

He said find a RC Car shock oil and wet a rag with it and wipe it on like an armor-all treatment. Then keep an eye on that bar and plates when it rains and you use AC and temps are above 75-80. when wet - just wipe em off in the future.....
