I know you've already ordered new hardware for your grill but have you ever hear of RCplanebuyer? He makes top notch replacement weber parts at a premium price though (well worth it IMO). I believe these are the links for his plates and bars...
His products will outlast the competition, maybe even your grill.

We've heard he has limited supply to build replacement parts. If that's changed it would great.

This is why I didn't go looking there. I'd read that he was not able to supply.
I would certainly have gone there if I'd known his stuff was available.
I could always return, I guess.

I'll email him and ask.

My 20 year old stainless steel grates still stick to many meats like burgers, chicken, pork tenderloin, skirt steak, but not steaks. I use non-stick spray on the meat with good results. I don't bother with any of the "oil the grate" routines.

How To Prevent Foods From Sticking To Grates - The Virtual Weber Gas Grill

However, I'd want to season the ENTIRE grate. Sides, bottom...all of it, to keep crud from building up as best I can. Would you season the top, flip the grates over, season the bottom, then flip them back and reseason the top?
And would you use any other seasoning method on your grates?

Weber Stainless Steel Flavorizer Bars #62784 / #7620 | eBay
THESE ARE NOT GENUINE WEBER PARTS. They work just great. The only difference between these and the Weber parts is that the Weber parts are made of a thinner gauge of material,18ga(.045"), while mine are are made of 16ga.

You won't prevent anything going through all that trouble. Good stainless grates, really don't require anything. I don't have any issues with food of pretty much any type sticking BTW either. I cook everything from various kinds of fish, veggies, meats of all kinds, etc. Some I do hit with a little EVOO but that is mostly to get seasoning to stick better but it's not a rule. It's really hit or miss whether I do or not.

This scared me enough to immediately purchase the Genesis 1000 Flavorizer Bars I've been putting off.

I have just read all 7 pages as well, Cassondra, you have done a yeomans job on all of this project! Strong work!
where are you in Kentucky? I’ve driven through a lot of the state and been to a Bluegrass Festival in Lexington several times.
I’ve spent 50 years learning how to play Mandolin and love the music. Hoping that your parts arrive so you can get that rascal up and running for the weekend!
Welcome to this crazy world of grilling arts! The info you will get here can feel a little overwhelming but, these folks share what has worked for them freely, one of the best sites on the internet! (Hat off, bows to Chris Allingham.)

I am with Timothy on the great work you are doing and how rapidly you are taking on that learning curve! I think you are well on your way to having a grill that will serve you well for a long time. All you need to do is give it the best storage you can when not in service and keep up with cleaning and rust prevention.
We are all enjoying following your progress and are glad to have you join our board! We will know you are totally hooked when you start thinking about how a 2nd grill rehab could add to your cooking versatility. From there it only gets worse

Interesting. I have learned how to keep food from sticking in my stainless cookware, USUALLY. There are some things where I still reach for my one nonstick skillet, but well-seasoned cast iron and my stainless set are my everyday workhorses. I will love it if the stainless grates are easy.
