In the attached image, what's likely the deal with the prominent rust-colored stain? And just as importantly, what can I do about it, preferably without tearing up my headliner?
This is on a 1987 32-3. The leg with the rust stain is through-bolted and conveniently placed over a zipper in the headliner, so that's easy enough. But given the angles of the other legs, I will need to detach at least one other foot from the deck in order to remove the tubing guard for full access to the rust-stain area. I can also access the above-headliner area under the port-side foot, but that appears not to be through-bolted. Instead, there is a block of wood(?) under the port-side foot with no sign of fasteners. I tried removing one of the screws on that foot, but several turns didn't show any progress, so it doesn't seem to be a normal screw-into-wood-block condition.
Any guidance of how things are put together here will be welcome. There are no signs of water penetration to the interior in any of the foot locations.
