cracks in the floor

[dan23]

just noticed there are 2 cracks in my floor
thet start fom the end of the outside seat rail about 3 inch long seem to follow the contour of the seat rail toward the inside of the rail

they are on both sides of the car are in the same place both cracks are identical
i ve tryed prodding them with screw driver an hit them with hammer but it doesnt appear to be rotten

what should i do :eek:

Just weld them up, make sure you drill a small hole at the ends of each crack to stop the crack from getting any bigger !

never thought of drilling a hole at each end, good thinking rich!! or am i just stoopid lol

Its what you should do with any crack, usually on a bumper or something.

[dan23]

what causes it ?
its not rottten i can stand on it hit it with hammer etc an nothing happens
should weld the crack up of cut out the cracked bit an weld in a new piece of metal

it just cracks.... kinda like when corsa B pillars just crack.

most cars have some places that they will crack due to age etc...

but yes drill stopping cracks before welding up is V important otherwise the crack will carry on moving/break the weld
