Hello! I have a 2018 Sahara- my door hinges are rusting! Does anyone have any tips on how to stop / get rid of it?

Take the doors off, clean and lube the hinge pins with a water proof grease, reassemble. You can clean the rust stains off with ScotchBrite and clear coat them before you put doors back on

What the hell is going on with all the latches, hinges rusting and paint bubbling? Not gonna lie this concerns me about my future purchase!
That's not the hinges themselves. It's the cheap liners within the hinges. They go bad and corrode over time. Remove the doors and replace the liners with these:

You could also use these. They worked great for me.
