Given that you are located in Michigan, I would guess that it is from all the conditions that your car sees. I would just take some WD-40 and steel wool, and work on the rust until it comes off.

My 07 ltd. has minor rust on the seat brackets (drivers seat). I bought it Jan 20th and it came that way. Haven't given it much thought but I guess the WD40 and some steelwool would do the trick; thanks.
