Hello. I'm not sure whether this is the right place to post this, but here goes...
Just recently picked up a brand new CX-5. I was surprised to discover that the licence plate screw configuration is metal-on-metal (most of my other newer vehicles have used a plastic flange, etc.). I was a bit concerned about the possibility of rust developing, so I went and bought nylon screws. When I went to change the screws out, I noticed that the metal screws that came with the CX-5 already had a small amount of orange (rust) on them.
I'm concerned that this will only get worse, even with the nylon screws. My questions are:
1. Should I be concerned / bring this up with Mazda?
2. Is there a way to remove the rust and ensure it doesn't return?
Thanks in advance.
