Last week I ordered a set of side rails for the Ridgeline. I started the installation and much to my frustration every bolt hole is rusted. when try to thread one of the bolts for the mounting hardware, the head snapped off.

What do I do about the rust?

What do I do about the remain bit of the bolt stuck in the bolt hole?
