Hello Backcountry people (^_^).I ordered this rack about a month ago and noticed there is some white buildup on the bolt threads of this mount. Should I put some grease on them to stop corrosion?Also, for people that are thinking about this rack, it is silver, not dark as the picture shows. Plus it doesn't come this the cross bars (at least mine did not).Other wise good mount. EDIT: Thanks Randy. I asked around and e-mailed several roof rack manufactures, most people say put "White Lithium Grease"(spray kind) on the exposed threads and inside the key lock area.

If the bolt is holding something together, grease may not be the best choice. And the grease has a knack for finding it's way to your clothes. I would opt for some appropriate colored rustoleum. Just get a little can and use a small brush and cover the part that looks corroded. You can try brushing off any loose particles with an old toothbrush (not the wife's) before you carefully apply the paint only where you need it.
