Re: I am thinking of adding glue on strips

I have seen rust at the trim line. But my squares all are long-time PNW trucks, have the trim and aren't rusted there. I do think you have to wash them often enough to keep from growing moss there though, since it will hold moisture against the paint. But we're only talking about needing to wash it a couple times a year to prevent that. An alternative idea is to pull the mounting tape that the trim comes with off, and use short, closely-spaced vertical or diagonal strips of 3M trim tape.
