    RS2 Odd rust issue ?

    Hi, have spent the afternoon taking out the headlining for retrim only to find this , it's the same on both sides, two thin pipes all rusted up, it's at the front of the sunroof , on the left and right corners, looks nasty, are these carrying cables or ore they the drain pipes, is there any cause and what's the cure ?

    These carry the drive cables , and can cause jamming.
    It is not unusual though. Best to take it off and deal with it or it will only jam up in future.
    I dealt with it here.

        I drilled out the steel rivets holding the cable guide, and removed the rust using electrolysis.
        Dont use aluminium rivets putting it back they wont last, use steel rivets.
