Leaving the plates in the cargo box between use - good idea?

I had a set of Burt Retractables... Unfortunately they broke after a few days. They were cool though... Worked as advertised.

How do those crevices form to begin with?

If there's any truth to this theory, I presume there could be tiny manufacturing defects that could be exploited and made worse.

i wonder if he's talking about de-lamination between the top of the edge and the ski

I used the spademan SRS on rentals when I was learning. They were a PITA, always releasing unless every single bit of snow was off the plate, and it was difficult to clear them of snow.

What year did you strap on the "plates"?

What kind of car do you drive and where do you park

It's a Volvo station wagon (XC-70) and I park inside my garage. I doubt the temperature goes below the freezing point overnight there unless it's a really cold night. So I hope the possibility of water seeping into the plates, err.. skis and separating the layers as it freezes is slim.

Plates? PS bumped this thread as I'm considering a cargo box.
