Weekend weight saving!

[Niall]

Its because they get dirt stuck behind the covers so you get wet salty mud sitting on the sills for literally years. Perfect way to rot metal! I will be taking mine off at the weekend and praying for just a bit of surface rust.

Mine's a '93 1.4, it doesn't have covers, just bare sills.

And yes, welded a couple of big holes in the rear arches up, although thankfully mine is sound.

Luckily mines a ph3 so hopefully wont rot as badly but ive still seen a few with rot starting under the sill covers
