get the tip things
the coating on mine was wearing near the ends of the tines.
I got little plastic tip things that slip on the ends. Work fine, and also cushion the dishes better. Did this 2 or 3 years ago.
Whirlpool has them on their website under "accessories" but with some googling you can source them elsewhere, and for cheaper.

RUSTED RACKS
I have hundreds of good used racks from the early 1950s through the present if yours are too badly rusted. Any one can Email thier wishes and I will see if I have it .John.

I have a bottle of rack repair touch-up and it came with a bunch of tips as well. It cost $18 and change and was really tough to find. I can't use the tips on my Thermador because the tines are all looped at the top. One thing I did notice is that if you have the aqua blue colored tines, the blue touch-up is very blue and doesn't match very well. Fortunately, the bit of rust on mine is on the bottom of the racks where you don't see the touch-up.
My local ACE Hardware had white rack repair in stock, but would have to order the gray. You can try ACE if you don't have the blue coated racks and it will probably be cheaper, but you'll be on your own if you need tips to match.
