Accessories and galvanic corrosion 2015 models
In looking at accessories for my new truck, I started looking at mud flaps. And it occurred to me, if after market companies are taking the aluminum bodies into consideration with regards to attachment hardware.
Husky mud flaps use screws to attach to the fenders- are they aluminum screws? The Weather Edge mud flaps are "no drill", but do they also use aluminum on their metal attachment points?
I found this Ford SVE bulletin which got me thinking about this- https://www.fleet.ford.com/truckbbas/non-html/Q-222.pdf.
I look forward to your input.

I would be going with Aluminum rivets to attach items that traditionally would use screws wherever possible. I think the important bit is to seal and drilled holes prior to using any fastener.
