Hard to speculate another person's rusty part?
In my case, I haul bags of salt for my water softener at times. Wet boots have been thrown in the back. I carry snow shovels in the back quite often. Lots of things could create rust on a part like the headrest, & that is why mine are in my extra bedroom closet.
Yea sure eh, hard to speculate. But I find the rust surprising. I don't carry anything in the back that could cause rust. I have a spare toque and gloves in the back, and the headrests, that's about it. No salty boots, no shovels.
The past few months have seen some free lumber in the car, and also some 3 tab shingles. And weekly groceries. No salty stuff.
My winter boots cause lots of havoc up front, that's primarily why I was washing out my interior today.
Maybe my headrests should move indoors too.
I have taken my Mirage to Krown rust control since I bought it new, so most of the car looks to be in extremely good shape. I did a fairly thorough inspection today.
The piano black plastic interior is fading a bit now, and the driver's seat cloth has seen better days; natural wear and tear, and fading, and McDonald's takeout stains. Mayo on my french fries and a stick shift.
