For those who haven't checked their rear cargo bays I'd recommend doing so. Remember my post and the pictures on my web page (http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1641/)? I didn't have any reason to suspect rust until I did what Greg did, remove bits 'n pieces to expose the hidden rust. Since it's normally covered up by insulation and mats it doesn't hurt to sand or wire brush it away and treat it with conversion primer. I used Corroless but there's POR15 as well and some other brand I have and all do a good job at stopping the rust. Check your local auto parts store in the body/paint section for rust conversion primer.
