Rust Protection on scratches from accessories.

Rust Protection on scratches from accessories.
I just got my new truck Saturday. I put mud flaps on yesterday. When putting them on, the clips scratch the paint on the wheel well flange. I’m not concerned about looks (you cant see it of course), but what about it rusting out in the future. Any suggestions?

First and foremost, welcome to f150online.com!! We're very glad to have you aboard...
About your flaps...
Don't the clips you're referring to clip to the fender flare? If so, I'm 99% sure that that part is plastic and not metal and thus, you wouldn't have to worry about rust.
If it's not what I'm thinking about, maybe some silicone (since it's in a non-visible place) would prevent corrosion.
Best of luck to you and let us know how you handle it.
