So I have a new bestop soft top. It is really nice and I like it, but this is a jeep and I didn't buy it to drive around with a top on. So, here is the question. The insides of the tubes of the new frame work is rusting. I think I might just cap the ends with glue or something, but have any of you guys have this happened? I just talked to someone at quadratec and he said that the frame work was never designed to be driven around in the down position like I have been doing. I mean, its a JEEP. I would think that it should be ok to drive around with the frame in the down position all the time and be just fine.
