On mine it's just slight surface rust as would be expected.
How bad is the rust on yours?
Best bet, rotate them around every so often so it gets used up a bit (Or just get stuck and have someone there to pull you out  ) |

Re: Are your tow hooks rusting?
It's more just surface rust, but I wondered if I should use some paint on it to seal them up. When I'm in for my next oil change I might ask the dealership if this seems to be a common complaint?

Re: Are your tow hooks rusting?
Mine still look good 
When I change the oil I spray the hooks with WD40 then a small squirt of white lithium grease then work them back and forth and wipe them down
I also do the same to all hinges,pivit points , exposed cables ect.
A little WD in the door handles is also a good Idea.

Re: Are your tow hooks rusting?
well I was backing up out of a McDonalds parking lot, it was dark, and i didnt see any cars. So as I finished and started putting it in drive I see this poor kid (19) terrified. I didnt see him, but damn he should have seen me. Anyway no rust on my hooks, damn my car isnt two months old...or is it. already have 2k miles, i dont play
