<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/41218/s4_06.jpg"></center><p>Has anyone had any rust problem after cutting the slot in the rear uprights for the damper adjustment?

The shop installed them said they put primer on the cut area, but they look shinny like a fresh cut. What kind of primer do you guys recommend? I do live in the snow belt, hate to see that area rust!

Thanks in advance!!

Rustoleum and duct tape are your friends. Make sure the tape wraps around the sides so it stays put.
