2004 Mustang Convertible: Rust on pedal levers.
It's a ragtop, coulda rained at one point in it's career while the top
was down. As long as there is no serious rust anywhere else on the car I wouldn't get excited. Seems there should be at least a coat of paint on the pedals to prevent such a situation. Is it rusted thru the paint or are they bare metal?? |

Is it rusted thru the paint > or are they bare metal?? I can't speak about the Mustang directly, however, I did have a problem with rust on the middle sseat frames of my 2003 Expedition. The parts were originally coated with some sort of black material (paint?). However, after a couple of years rust appeared on the parts. Ford replaced the seat frame parts at no charge. I was told that the coating used was defective. Simialr third row and front row parts, that orignally looked the same, never rusted. I assume the supplier screwed up. Could be a similar problem with the Mustang pedals. I would never have paid to have the Expedition parts replaced - I know how to paint. However, since it was a warranty issue, I let Ford handle it. Interstingly, the Expedition's frame is coated with a black "paint" that looks the same as the seat frames did when new. Despite being subjected to dirt, road sallt, water, etc, they look like new after a quick rinsing. Ed |
