No seat bolt holes.

In my ej there is no seat bolt holes, the metal where it should go looks to be cut out. How would I fix this?

Re: No seat bolt holes.

So the hole has rusted and been ripped out.

The safest option would be to replace that chunk of metal. Have a piece of fresh sheet metal welded in.

Re: No seat bolt holes.

That is what I was thinking, but I have no idea where I would go to do this or how much it will cost.

Start calling some local body shops. Tell them your lower seat belt mounting point is rusted and ripped out, and you need a new one welded in. They'll be able to tell you how much it'll cost.

Re: No seat bolt holes.

ALL the mounting holes? Depending on the extent of the rust, replace the entire floorpan. Part #65100-SR8-A02ZZ

Part may have been discontinued. $372.

Re: No seat bolt holes.

It seems to be rusted enough that you have no mounting holes. You try pulling up that carpet?

Get it welded by a professional guy. Nothing like your seat mounting points breaking in an accident because you cheaped out and had a muffler shop weld it for $10
