    yes, this garnishment is a bad design and should refrain from using this during winter time because the lift gate struts doesn't have that much pressure (cold weather I guess) to slightly pop-up the trunk. Owners typically try to use the trunk switch to lift up and eventually break the plastic. There's a rubber gasket sorrounding the trim that might contribute to the corrosion of the bolts. Somehow the way they designed the catch for that square head is designed to collect water.
