rusty screw

[Russie]

Hi guys,Need some advice and help too. Was washing my car this morning and when wiping the car dry, I notice that the front passenger door, 1 of the 3 screws of the shutter lock is rusty (refer to the pic)~ Gosh... I took a closer look, the rusty screw doesn't seem to be the original screw. Original one has the galvanised body and a star-shape but this rusty unit I believe is from other car coz it's an allan-key shape. Probably when the previous owner resprayed the car 2 yrs ago, the workshop lost the original screw or something and replaced with this?Where can I get the original screw? anyone? need advice pls. If replacing it, would it be a simple job or do I need detailing? Perhaps I should check if the rust spread to the car body or not? Using anti-rust spray or something? Appreciate feedback.. thanksCheers

use WD 40, if u wan ori screw go to the nearest spare parts shop for bimmers, u have to buy the whole set, they wont sell u just 1 screw

thanks for the advice alan, spraying WD40 maybe only helps in loosing up the rusty screw. But i also need to get a replacement screw, scare the rust will spread to the body. thanks anyway
