what to do to fix hole in metal under car?

[jTx]

so recently when i was cleaning out my car i found that my driver side floor was soaking wet .. at first i thought maybe water was just trapped under there because i had a second layer of custom carpet on it so i didnt dirty the actual carpet, and then rubber floor mats ... dried it out no problem

a few days later the rain came again and once again my floor was soaked, realized i had more of a problem

today when i was jacking up my car with a floor jack to replace a tie rod end i think i found the weak spot in the metal undercarriage because the jack kinda punched through the metal. i didnt take a good look at it (i forgot) but i would assume that whole area is bad

how can i fix it?

a follow up, found out that its not a problem per se with the metal underneath, rather the circle area presumably for a floor jack the circle piece of metal popped up and all the "stuff" under the carpet is cracked and broken

ive now pulled out the carpet and am drying it out.. gonna go get some of that jb weld and seal that piece in there real good

you wouldnt believe the amount of water under there and in the carpet padding... its crazy

I'm having the exact same problem in my rear passenger side floor. I've spent a month trying to fix door and window seals...etc. I never thought about it coming from underneath!!! thanks for the post---you may have fixed my problem too!!!!

Have you sealed the taillights yet?

There's no water in the trunk or the back seat. Could it still be the tail lights?

It won't get on the seats. It will run down underneath them to the floorboard.

There would more then likely be some water in the back end somewhere if the taillights were leaking. Try a door seal if your really stuck but other then that dont know for sure , lots of places water can get in if it really wants to.

ive notice you have a hard time grasping concept in alot of these posts and you give alot of useless info. i know your trying to help but you should have a better understanding of the car that your giving info about before you try to point someone in the right direction.

what das is saying is just because yours has water in the rear doesnt mean all have it in the rear.
hes saying just because the back is dry doesnt mean that is not where the leak is.

[Wollf]

I understand what hes saying , and in his land maybe water works different then here but here it has to flow from one place to another , it cant come in the back and suddenly appear in the front, it needs a path. Im sorry there is so much mis-information being passed around here all it does is confuse people. Instead of people putting up one idea and saying its the problem people should be helping others find what really is the problem with good questions instead of

"You haven't seen it in enough neons then, if you believe that "

Information is helpfull , needless posts to raise your numbers isnt.

[HPNOTIQracing]

first das has been here a long time. so have i but under other names.
this is not a numbers thing.

also this is not a false information thing either, which you seem to know all about

Get Some Sheet Metal And Fix That Floor And Then Take Out The Carpet And Have A Freind Hose It Down And Look For The Water To Come In Then Fix It . Hope That Helps
