I got MME 2023 two months ago

they are the door strikers.

yesterday I found them rusty except one.

what should I do?
I use Amsoil heavy duly metal protector spray. It penetrates the rust, drys tack- free……Fluid Film will work, but tends to stay tacky….. Bill P

I am only guessing but the OP may be worried that where there is smoke there is fire. If it were me, I wouldn’t be concerned with the pictured parts but would be looking elsewhere to see any signs of rust. As he’s in a northern climate, if road salt moisture cannot find the drain holes supposedly in the door panel all hell can and will break loose. I’m hoping other posters are correct that this is simply a nothingburger but I can tell you from experience here in Michigan if you see rust forming better take a hard look elsewhere.

I can’t tell if this is a joke.
You have truly put me in a catch 22 situation, if i say it is a joke then you say shame on you, if I tell you it is not a joke then you say I am clueless about dealing with Ford and their dealers. Therefore I will just leave it there for you to decide. :cool:

You're right. It's quite the conundrum.
