So i was sound deading with dynamat in the rear interior panel next the the rear passenger seat. After removing the interior panel and the speaker i noticed in 3 areas i could see the floor of my garage. pics

the holes are where the body panel adhere/ welded to floor panel

road dirt from bottom of panel.

the white dot you see is my shop light led beneath car aimed directly at pinch weld directly below car

evidence water has been in the vehicle

plastic cilps holding rear passenger wheel well lineer also have salt water in them

arrow pointing to said hole

I'm guessing youre missing the rubber caps. I noticed a lot in that area.

These are the plugs...

...and this is where they go. Holes should be about a foot forward from the edge of the rear wheel well.
