    Okay I washed big green and first off I had been hearing rocks being thrown by my duratracs when I drove last week and this week. This new wash revealed that those rocks have been hitting my paint on my door and chipping it all the way to the metal. They are small chips.
    Next, I see a drop of water in my new corner lights and condensation in them.
    I dont know what to do about either of the little mishaps!

    Touch up paint or bed liner the rockers. Take the corner off and dry it out with a hair dryer. Make sure the rubber o ring that goes around the light socket is there (or in good shape.

    The bottoms of my rockers looked like they had been sandblasted, so I rhinolined them.
