When it rains, I'm noticing the floor getting damp around the flange for the wheel tubs, and a couple other places.
Overall, the floor in my truck seems pretty solid. I haven't noticed any soft spots at all, at least from the top.
I really, really don't want to replace the floor, at least not for the next several years.
Did the factory apply any seam sealer where the floor meets the metal joints? Have any of you guys expericnced this weeping? What have you guys done to solve it?
Thanks,
Brad
