1. NOBODY seals the OUTSIDE mirror mount screws/bolts. In 37 years as a Tech, I have never seen any sealant to prevent rust to the mount screws.
2. The OP has a 14 year old motorhome. So, yes, after 14 years some things will rust or come loose.
3. To the OP, REMEMBER the wire Chafing problem on F-16's years ago? (Ft worth built). Even Aerospace has quality problems.
4. If this was a BIG problem, you would see mirrors in the ditches, Doug
This just proves my point. The lack of quality practices is why people have so many problems with water infiltration.The fact that the decorative covers over the screws had no sealant provides a place for water to collect and make the problem worse.
You can't excuse all the problems in the RV world by bringing up a small problem in the F-16 program.
By the way Doug what RV do you own?
