Front Runner Rack - Rusted Hardware
Anyone else with a Front Runner rack have rusted out hardware? I hadn't noticed how bad it had gotten, now it just looks horrible. I'll reach out to their customer support, hopefully they've updated their hardware.

Some of mine are rusted/corroded as well. I'll grab some pictures later. My footrails were rusting and corroding and they took care of them real quick.

How long has it been on the truck? Do you live in an area with lots of snow and road salts or near the coast?

If it aint made out of aluminum, everything will eventually rust. Where I live, I'm constantly battling rust. I keep a can of rustoleum and oil based touch up paint handy.

No salt or snow. I've sourced some SS fittings to start replacing these.

How did you contact them? I've called their number and used their online submission form and haven't heard back.

Yeah a lot of mine are rusted out as well. I plan on replacing a good amount of them this spring. I do live in New England so we see a lot of snow/salt.
