4x4 thanks for reply.

Also forgot to mention that both front doors are rusting after owning six weeks, in sunny Kentucky. No winter, no salt. Will post pictures soon. The rust is the seam where the two door half are welded. The seam sealer used, has cracked and let water. It is rusting uncoated metal. The rust is coming out the crack and staining the door jam paint. Thought GM was using metal body panels that have a rust protective coating, befor being painted. Guess not anymore, new six week old track and door jam is rusting. Again this is summer/fall with only rain?
