Anyone with verts have problems with the frame causing wear holes when folded? I have twin spots wearing both sides where the frame rubs on them when down. It seems that the frame pushes down right next to the inner strut mount bolt which is causing the wear. I don't know if I have stock struts or not, but the bolts seem to stick up more than 1/2 inch. Thinking if I saw them down that may solve the problem, but looking for input.

I read about that before I got my vert - it's apparently a common enough problem that Toyota issued a bulletin about it. Not sure what the fix for it is since mine didn't rub through, maybe dig up that bulletin - I'm sure it's accessible on the web somewhere.
