Rusting Torx Screws around engine bay & trunk

[Rich Steel]

The T15 screws around the top edge of my boot and engine bay are rusting - especially where water pools (although I always dry my car off when parking it in my garage when it's been out in the rain or washed). Has anyone else had this problem? I think I saw something in Ian Allen's C8 Facebook Forum about batch(es) of fixings that were not zinc plated, or whatever, but it seems to have disappeared! I'm worried about what hidden areas may be rusting.

Check out Margnor Fasteners of Guildford and online. They stock just about everything and will probably be able to set you up with something in stainless steel for a few pennies. Very useful people.
