This is more warning than review. I have some Westin Platinum Oval side rails on my 2013 Tacoma. Recently I noticed rusty water coming out from the plastic step covers. I decided to check it out and found that the tubes where completely filled with water and rusting insided. I took an impromptu video with my cell phone to show it. Sorry not production quality but shows the issue her is the link.

That's a lot of water! Doesn't make up for poor design or manufacturing but I've used rustproofing cavity wax in as many tubes and box sections as I can on my bar work. Hopefully it will last that way.
