    In my experience what happens is mud/dirt gets in there & hold the moisture in. I'd sandblast through the holes & spread lots of something like POR 15 around in there. Drill a couple of holes largish holes in the vertical part of the mounts so you can periodicly flush the crud out with a hose. Might be a good idea to do the same with the hat channels as well-

    New mounts are available from Classic if you feel the need.
