I ran out to the garage to check my '06..............I saw no signs of rust, probably because it's dry here and garaged. Our '07 trim strip is not the one-piece chromed metal assembly as found on the '06. The '07 has a long, black plastic base underneath holding the license plate lights as well as being pressed against the painted surface. The chrome metal trim strip is attached to the plastic, so doesn't touch the painted metal of the hatch. So Vance does learn...............
