Appreciate any help from anyone out there in Pathy land. October 2010 we had 4 - 5 days of rain, rain, rain ...... got in my 2001 Pathfinder and the driver's side floor mat was squishy (water underneath). Took it in to the shop (not a dealer) .... they cleaned the sun roof, drains, checked AC hose, etc ..... and I went on my way ($90).
In the past 4 days we've once again experienced tons of rain (Virginia Beach), and once again my driver's side mat/mat pad etc. Has tons of water soaked up in it. I took the side plastic (and floor plastic) thing out and lifted up the carpet ...... and there's water RUST and a hole in the floor board! I can stick my finger through the hole from the bottom of the truck - and into the truck floor.
Advice? Suggestions? Any thoughts on where is this water coming from? How can I trouble shoot it? How much will it cost to "fix the problem"? What can I do about the HOLE in the floorboard?
By the way - I'm in no way mechanically inclined .... but hopefully someone can offer their expertise/help/guidance. Thanks
