Hello all. I got my first 100 series a couple weeks ago, 03 LX, which is completely rust free except as I recently discovered where the front of the 3rd row seats connect near the wheel wells. I searched but didn't see anything so I'm not sure how common this is. I assume based on the carpet that it has had lots of kids in it over the years and I bet there were drinks spilled that just set there.
My plan was already to pull the rear carpet and clean it thoroughly so dealing with this shouldn't be a big deal. I was thinking sanding and wire wheel followed by POR Metal Prep and Coating. I might need to replace the hardware on the left side but haven't investigated yet what it's holding underneath.
Has anyone encountered this before? Any other thoughts on dealing with this?
