Always wondered what people do when they colour code their hardtops, do they keep the strips or remove them.

I guess the only function they serve is to direct some of the rain water down over the back screen, although it doesn't seem to be doing a good job on mine.
Mine is colour coded and the allen bolts have gone rusty. I'm now trying to find somewhere to spray it so when I get it done I'll also get some new allen bolts and get them chromed.
