Anyone have any problems with rusting or bluish-green discoloration?

Not on this one. We have only had it a week. We have replaced 2 others with the chrome bar hinge and yes, they had a greenish discoloration- I think it is corrosion from uric acid, which eventually causes the hinge to break. My guys seem to have poor "aim".

No problems at all with anything you mentioned. Mine is about 6 months or so old.

None, I have had this hinge installed for 6 months now with no problems. It is still a shinny brass color.

I live in indy and I've had it for 3 month or so. o have seen any rust yet. And its rained a lot so I would say no. plus I've got a friend who's got the same one and he's had it 2 years. his also has no rust.

No rust has appeared so far. Worst thing is keeping clean of smudges, which isn't that hard to do.

I haven't had them for a long enough time to notice any rust. I live in a very dry climate, so rust isn't that big of a problem here. I also have refrigerated air and not swap cooling so that could also be helping me.

I've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

I have not had mine rust but they have developed a spotty green corrosion which Im told can be prevented with Bar Keepers Friend. They are great quality seats though and besides that one drawback theyre perfect and really ANY metal hinge is going to do that.

I have had mine since March and so far have not had any rust problems. I am actually going to purchase another one for the shower in my guest bath. Hope this helps.

I have had mind for three years and it is rusting. I don't think this is acceptable. I am looking for a new one with a different finish.

I have no problem with the product rusting. Holds up well if cleaned and cared for after each use. I have had one for more then 5 years and bought a 2nd one as a gift about a year ago.

I've had this set for quite some time now and I have had no problems with any rust or any other problems. I've been very happy with my purchase.

I ordered it in red. There must be a place with a color choice or perhaps one of the many sellers has that option. I love the red.I see someone mentioned rust being a problem. I haven't seen that.

It's just a guess.....we bought the gray model, never used it and found storing it in the garage to be a burden. Sold it to a co-worker and found that the finish on the gray looked splotchy, as if it had a chemical substance spilled on it. My guess is that it was a natural phenomena and a black version would not show that. It wasn't rust; more like oxidation?

some discoloration on bottom metal plate which may become rust but not yet.

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

I do and not have had a problem. It is all aluminum so it doesn't rust. I do dry it off though.

Mine started discoloring also. I wish I could help you but I haven't been able to clean mine as well.
