It's a design flaw. There's a hole from the factory assembly process and a metal piece is glued on. Water seeps in and since it's under the sound deadening it just sits and eats away at the metal.

Water came up from the bottom. Since it was under the sound deadening, the carpet was never wet. Only noticed when I was under the car one day and started poking at it.

Here's where the factory hole is. There's only a silver stick on thing sealing it up.

so i took back the carpet and peeled back the sound material and i saw the metal silver seal behind the seat mount, no rust there. i further peeled back the deadening and found an actual hole only sealed by the sound deadening (close to the transmission tunnel). this is where i got some surface ( i hope) rust started i dont see the same hole in your pics. thanks for pointing out this issue would of never found it until too late and a big rust job



WTF nissan
