Rick. Practical and creative rod storage solution - good stuff. Just out of curiosity. Do you often place your hand on the windscreen where the rusted screws are? Do you hold there with your right as you steer with your left? cheers Zoran Edited September 25, 2017 by zmk1962 added content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickmarlin62 Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 yeah the rust is from the clips I have a grab rail inside screen...rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zmk1962 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 ... yep then as Marty says... probably the fitting used to hold the clips. I was asking as I noticed slight surface rust stains would form on my ss grab rails where folks held onto them... especially if they had greasy hands (suntan lotion, fish oils from bait etc). I made a note to occasionally wash those areas with soapy water to remove the grease and now no more rust. Its just the way stainless steel works - the shiny protective layer (chromium tri-oxide) needs to be clean and exposed to air for it to resist rust.
