Splashguards

[js274]

I installed splash guards on me 2007 silverado. Though i liked them but the more I looked at them the more I hated the way they look so I removed them. The problem is that the rear ones had to be screwed into the edge of the fender. I reinstalled the screw and added some silicion do you think the holes will rust over time.

i would think so..

im sure someone else can shed some light

Probably, especially if you put metal screws in there. I would put silicone in the hole, and THEN screw in the screws.

Without touching up that part on the fender, i would definetly agree with Never Enough about silicon first.

I would hit it w/ tu paint and then silicone and screw....

You could paint the holes, then pop in some of those plastic fasteners.
They are pretty cheap at the auto parts stores and come in different sizes. If you don't like black, paint the fasteners with some Fusion plastic paint.
And you could still use silicon too, if you want to.
