Re: ttop metal surface rust
where is the rust on the t tops, is it on the removable top itself or on the stationary bar in the middle? if its on the bar you should take a good look and see if theres rust under the weatherstripping around the bar

Sand it down to bare metal. Work really hard to get ALL the rust off. Then put a quality primer on it until you can paint. Is the going to get a paint job, or are you just trying to take steps to stop the rust?

NO, NO, No.
Grind the metal down, I used a steal brush on a drill. Get some type of rust prohibitor and apply that to the area of rust concern. The product I used said it turned the rust into primer. Rust is like cancer by just priming/painting alone will not prevent you from having future problems.
