I recently bought 13591 for my 2005 equinox. I was able to thread the center bolts with no problem. However Im struggling with the side bolts. I can only get them on about half way. When I take the bolts out there is rust on the end, so I tried to brush out some of the corrosion, but that didnt help at all. Any suggestions?

The problem is that the holes for those weld nuts have become corroded and probably have some road debris built up in them. Use some WD-40 or some other spray lubricant, and spray the heck out of those holes. After letting it soak in for a while, use a wire brush to scrub them thoroughly. I have found that the brush on a battery post and terminal cleaner works great. Once you get the holes cleaned and lubricated, the bolt should go in with no problem.
