Oh yeah...

Getting there...it has been raining/snowing a lot in DC. Very unusual for this area--it seems to have left an effect on the screws. Go figure. I wonder if that is covered under the warranty

I just checked, and the back screws are fine while the front ones are rusty. Wonder as well whether covered by warranty.

I believe your local dealer is very glad to replace ones for you free but I try to point out that mb should not use these low quality screws anyway. (mb should recall the cars and replace the new ones for every owners.)
