Some customers may comment on corrosion (rust) in the floor pan in the area where the battery is located.

This condition may be caused by a weeping of acid from the battery or from a battery vent tube that has become dislodged.

Repair the damaged area using the parts and information contained in the floor pan repair panel kit. Also, clean any area of the floor pan where acid may have been present with a solution of baking soda and water. Rinse and dry the area thoroughly.

The floor pan repair panel kit contains a replacement section of the floor pan. The adhesive needs to be ordered at the time of the repair. If a battery hold down is needed, refer to the parts information.
