<VV> Rust Proofing

[J R Read_HML]

Smitty,

I think it was common for the rust to start at the plastic plugs.  At least, 
that was my experience on two cars back in the 60s.  I quit going to Ziebart 
after that.  Slow learner, I guess.  Sounds like they still had that problem 
in the 80s.
Later, JR
