Passenger Side Rust

[MS_Rick]

Has anyone had this happen to there car? I do not know where it's coming
from I took a hoes and sprayed water thoughout the car and I get no leaks...

[greasemonkey524]

Is that the ECM plate? If so, possibly something spilled over there or wet feet?

[dstmsp03]

yup.. exact same spot.. thats why i am taking it to get it undercoated..

[MS_Rick]

Yes, that's the EMS plate nothing spilled just water I had to rip out the
under rug material...

Did this happen to you?

[dstmsp03]

yes it did.. i rolled the carpet back for 2 days to let it dry out.. my msp was sittin in a field for 9 months, i thought thats what it was..

[MS_Rick]

How do you think the water got in? Maybe the passenger side window was slightly left opened.....

i dont think so.. i honestly dont know how it got in there.. kinda pisses me off though.. its the only spot on the car.. could be a door sill issue..

[MS_Rick]

yea maybe I did not remove the little plastic pieces that plug the hose on the
bottom of the doors...

[dstmsp03]

i dont know.. i just know when i pulled back the carpet to put in the ss.. i was freaken pissed to find that! i was thinkin.. wtf.. was this in a flood.. lol

[BOOSTR]

iirc, i've seen a few pics like those over the years. might be a another issue?

[MS_Rick]

lol yea thats right it was like a little pool...check the little plastic pieces
when you open your door check to see if you have all of them there.

[dstmsp03]

ok, i am at work right now.. so it might be a lil while..

damn man, when i did the ss afc in the msp i saw it was unusually wet in that are, no rust or any problems yet, just wet. i thought it was someone's wet shoes or what not. but now that i see others with the same problem i'm going to take that area apart and dry it all up and maybe stick a rag under there and possible undercoat the ems bracket/shield.

[RevLimitLaunch]

isn't there like a bumper to bumper corrosion warranty for 5 years or something too? lol.

[SeR_Cyclops]

man i dont know but my pass msp floor mat was wet when i was vac it out the other day i was like WTF????

[MS_Rick]

wow so this has happen to alot of people (we) need to figure this out.. again
I tried to hoes it down but no leaks soon I will put to into the car wash and
see if water gets in...(scratch)

[RevLimitLaunch]

yeah i tried the wash trick and NOTHING!!! i'm mother fu(king baffled as to how, there's no holes under the car that could aid into it or anything....weird...
