I don't know which way I lean on this issue, but I do know that the beads
were used as a time/effort and therefore cost saving measure because it was
decided that it would take too long without the beads. Simply spot weld
them in and send the car on. It stands to reason that they would have done
it differently it time/money had allowed. They definately collect rust.
I've been thinking of cutting mine out toremove the rust, I just can't
decide whether or not to put them back.
