Good Godd this site is SLOW. Anyhow, sorry to hear about your disappointment. I have the putco bed rails, tailgate guard and there Boss Bars, all are doing just fine. Mine are the polished ones, and I applied the wax before installation like they suggested, No problems. I have had many trucks and way too many appearance parts, as a whole, Putco products are vastly better then the competition. Give them a call and see what they have to say about your bed rails?
