Probably not rust but paint. I think that in their haste they assembled
these whilst the paint was still soft. The two times I have done this I have
had to completely remove the fixing bolts for the stantion receivers and
twist them to free them up. This usually invloves removing the glove box and
the dash vent tubes and maybe some other stuff to gain switng room.
Good luck.
