Bloody California guys and their lack of rust knowledge!

A new one will look exactly like the old one after one winter.

It is just surface rust with absolutely zero impact on function.

Clean it up with a good shot of WD40 to get the gunk out and grease it up ( the mech not the hook itself).

Oh and check the part on the hood to make sure it isn't bent or damaged. Not sure how it could be but have seen stranger things.
