Marc,

My guess is moisture from the inside. The are some gaps where the
folding table connects. I have removed several of these tables and
found some rusting or the hardware on most of th right at the bottom
pivot points. All it takes is one spilled drink pointed at the table
gap to help that corrossion migrate downward onto the seam. There is
also fiberglass insulation behind by the plastic panel which has a
tendency to retain moisture. It all ends at the bottom.
