Cross member rust inside car underseat

Post by ssnjimb »

Hello Folks.

When changing the carpets i noticed that there is a rust blister the size of a £2 coin.

This rust is situated on the passenger side of the car near the sill under the seat.

Can this be patched up or does the floor need cutting.

Kind Regards
James Stephenson

James, even if you are going to put a patch in you should always remove the rusty metal. Cut back until you get to solid metal then make a template for your patch and butt weld it into place.....

wise advice, since after cutting out the blister you may well find that there are other things that need attention inside
