RUST dripping from Rubicon's Back rack
I have a brand new (2 months) Rubicon 05 and RUST is dripping on the fenders from the the pinched tubes of the backrack ever since day one;
Now rust is coming out of the welded joints;
I suspect a bad pre-painting treatment; does anyone have the same issue with their new Honda racks;
Should this rack be replaced under waranty.... I will review this issue with my dealer at my next servicing;
Please advise,

My 05 Rancher does the same thing, so does my friends. There seems to be small weep holes near the joint welds, I took some silicone and sealed up the holes, that fixed the problem.

You could try some wd 40...this will displace the water and leave an oily film, which will bead water away. But once rusts starts...its almost impossible to stop. Ask anyone whos restored an old car.
