I have an open 240D sitting in my garage and they will rust. Cold at night and the garage being uninsulated can warm up nicely during the day allowing for a nice film of water to lay on that cold steel. I spray them down with WD40 once a month and keep them covered with oily rags and old towels. That will keep the warm air from the cold steel and stop moisture from forming. The WD40 is a second line of defense. I went out and re-oiled mine today.
