Rusted Screws?

[digisatman]

Hi all,

I have a w211 eclass, and on the inside of the bootlid, there are 2 screws, which are rusted, does not look very nice. What the best way of sorting this out? Do I need to replace them or some kin dof lubricant?

thanks,

Either take them out one by one if they are holding the same thing lightly sand and paint the heads is what I do

Hi digisatman

Are the screws rusted in place? A good quality penetrating oil should work. For really rusted-in screws, I use a screw extractor.

When replacing screws that might rust again, I'll dip them in oil or a light-bodied grease.
